The public environmental inquiry concerns the characteristics of the project and the planned environmental integration measures. In particular, it makes it possible to understand the effects of the project on water, aquatic environments, protected animal and plant species and their habitat, and to find out about the compensatory measures envisaged by the project owner.
The public environmental inquiry and the associated environmental authorization request cover different areas including: authorization under the law on water and aquatic environments, exemption from regulations relating to protected species and authorization for land clearing.
The environmental authorization file (DAE) for sector 1, between Compiègne and Passel, was submitted on April 15, 2019.
