How Long Does an Environmental Impact Study Take?
Environmental impact studies are required to give a thorough understanding of how a development project is going to impact the natural environment in the area it’s taking place in – as well as the way it’ll affect natural spaces further afield. This can be an exhaustive, arduous process – though, of course, exactly what’s required
will depend on the size of the project that’s taking place. At EIA Toronto, we’re well-versed in the completion of environmental impact assessments for our clients across the Toronto, Ontario area – and we’re confident that you’ll be delighted with the work that we carry out on your behalf. We aim to give a comprehensive understanding of all the implications of a development project, whilst managing to do so in a swift fashion. Below, further insights into how long an environmental impact study takes can be found – read ahead, at your convenience.
Assessment Requirements
Developers and construction companies can become frustrated with the environmental impact assessment process, and understandably so – it makes sense that these parties would want to press ahead with construction as quickly as possible. After all, any delay might be costing them money. As such, there are regulations in place relating to how long the environmental impact assessment process can take – with a hard limit of 24 months. Generally speaking, the time required to complete an EIA study is much less than that, but with particularly complex projects in zones which might be especially vulnerable, the process might take longer.
Smart Planning
If you’re on the verge of committing to a large scale construction project in Ontario, you need to implement the time needed to complete an environmental impact assessment into the equation. The fact is, the majority of these studies will take several months, and it’s not uncommon for them to need about a year to see completion. If you want to make sure that the process doesn’t impede your existing plans, it’s a good idea to integrate around 12 months for this process into the wider implementation strategy. This way, you won’t be left waiting around unexpectedly.

We want to make sure that we’re providing accuracy and precision in our work at all times – but we’re also concerned with the amount of time that’s needed to complete each assessment.
