'Scoping' is the next step in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process following referral earlier this year. The purpose of the Scoping Document is to specify the form and content requirements of the Environmental Review Document that we will produce as part of the Public Environmental Review.
Public comment on the Environmental Scoping Document is open for 2 weeks from 14 November to 28 November.
Read the Environmental Scoping Document on the EPA's website under the 'assessment' section and provide your feedback here.

Next steps
The final Environmental Scoping Document will be updated and approved by the EPA following the consideration of public submissions. The next step in the process is the Public Environmental Review phase where an Environmental Review Document will be prepared by Westport in line with the Scoping Document.
Westport currently anticipates submitting our Environmental Review Document in late 2025 ahead of it being published by the EPA in early 2026 for an 8-week public comment period.
