EAO COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT
Environmental Assessment
Every proposed project that undergoes an environmental assessment is thoroughly assessed on its specific individual aspects, including its potential environmental, economic, social, cultural, and health effects, as well as its impacts on First Nations and their rights.
The Cariboo Gold Project was subject to review under the 2018 BC Environmental Assessment Act, which was led by British Columbia's Environmental Assessment Office (EAO), and received its Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) on October 10, 2023.
Once an environmental assessment certificate is issued, post-certificate activities include mitigation effectiveness reports, audits, certificate amendments, extensions, and transfers. The Compliance and Enforcement Branch of the EAO conducts compliance inspections of regulated parties and projects and, where required, uses enforcement to ensure projects are designed, built, operated, and decommissioned or reclaimed in compliance with the legally binding requirements of the Act, its regulations, and environmental assessment certificates.
