Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option A is correct because the Navigable Waters Protection Act applies to projects that may impact navigable waters, such as creeks used for canoeing. Option D is also correct because the proposed conveyor may have potential harmful effects on the environment, and an environmental assessment may be required to evaluate these impacts. Therefore, both options A and D are correct, making option E the best choice. Option B is not the best choice because obtaining a license is only one step in the process, and other factors beyond due diligence may come into play. Option C is not the best choice because while an environmental audit may be required, it may not necessarily be needed in this specific case.
