REAPS apply to

REAPS apply to

• A. Level 1 projects only
• B. All levels including Level 1
• C. Non-construction projects
• D. Level 2 and 3 projects

Answer: (C)

REAPs are meant for environmental planning and assessment of activities that are not construction projects. They set out requirements for evaluating environmental impacts, planning mitigation, and ensuring compliance in ongoing operations, facility upgrades, or programs that don’t involve building new structures. Construction work typically falls under other regulatory controls, such as site-specific stormwater requirements and erosion controls, rather than REAPs. So the guidance correctly applies to non-construction projects, since those contexts align with the purpose of REAPs. If a project involves building or expanding facilities, other regulatory pathways would apply instead of REAPs.
