The proposed Burlington to Westover Transmission Line Refurbishment project is subject to the Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities (Hydro One, 2016) process, in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.


The Class EA was developed as a streamlined process to ensure that transmission projects that have a predictable range of effects have feasible environmental mitigation and/or protection measures in place. This document contains screening provisions for the Class EA process that may apply.

Consultation with elected officials, municipal representatives, government agencies, First Nations and Métis communities, interest groups, and the public is an important part of the Class EA process. In addition to organized consultation opportunities, Hydro One welcomes input at any time throughout the project.
