    Screening methods are used to determine the appropriate level of environmental assessment required for a proposed project. There are two types of screening - prescriptive and discretionary. Prescriptive screening involves comparing the project against predefined thresholds to determine if an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is required, not required, or if a limited or full EIA is needed. Discretionary screening allows consideration of additional criteria and professional judgment to determine the appropriate level of assessment when a project is not clearly below or above the thresholds. The outcomes of screening can range from no assessment required to full EIA.
