Provisions of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment on the Approval Procedures for Environmental Impact Assessment Documents of Construction Projects.

These Provisions for the approval of environmental impact assessment (EIA) documents for construction projects aim to streamline the approval process, enhance administrative efficiency, and support the development of a "digital government."
Construction units must submit comprehensive EIA documents, including public participation explanations, for review. The Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment may delegate technical evaluations to specialized institutions and requires local environmental authorities to provide feedback. Approved projects are publicly announced, and any significant changes to the project's nature, scale, or location necessitate a new EIA approval. The Provisions also include provisions for administrative review and appeal processes.
