Several guidance documents are provided by the Agency to support the proponent in the analysis of the impact assessment factors. As mentioned, the Guidelines provided to each proponent are tailored specifically for its project and are the primary direction for all information required. However, additional guidance documents are available to provide support to proponents on how impact assessment factors should be integrated in the Impact Statement. These guidance documents can be found in the Practitioner’s Guide to Federal Impact Assessments under the Impact Assessment Act and Policy and Guidance.
