• Descriptions of GH projects and categories of illustrative activities
• Guidance on the evaluation of environmental impacts and guidelines for determining significance of impacts
• Information for making environmental threshold determinations for projects and activities
• The GH Environmental Screening Tool, containing GH-recommended mitigation measures and monitoring activities
• Environmental impact screening guidance and examples of typical impacts by activity
