ONEP examines the EIA report within 15 days. In case the report is not correct or incomplete,
ONEP sends the report back to the proponent. In case the report is correct or complete, ONEP
provides preliminary comments on the EIA report within 30 days. The EIA report together with
the preliminary comments is then proposed to the Expert Review Committee (ERC) which, in
turn, considers the report for approval within 45 days. If the report is approved, the permitting
agency shall grant the permit to the project/activity with the inclusion of preconditions, such as
mitigation measures and a monitoring program. But, if the report is not approved, the proponent
must submit a revised report to the Committee, which then must review the amended report
within 30 days after date of receipt.
