When the Georgetown South Project Environmental Study Report (also called an Environmental Assessment or EA) was completed in July 2009, the Minister of the Environment (MOE) requested, among other things, more analysis about any human health impacts from emissions following the implementation by GO Transit of Tier 4 emission standards – a new, more stringent engine technology.

We were also asked to draft a revised human health mitigation plan to address residual health risks, if any, after moving to Tier 4-compliant locomotives.
