Screening by Determination
MMO to assess a project and decide whether an
EIA is necessary. This will result in a screening opinion being provided to the applicant. Screening by determination may be a result of a request from an applicant. Alternatively, if
MMO considers that the proposed project has the potential to require an
EIA, the application will be placed on hold and the applicant will be directed to request a screening opinion.
MMO cannot deal with the marine licence application until the screening opinion (or screening by agreement letter) has been given.
