How to get approval to do work within the provincial right-of-way?

You must get an Approval-to-Proceed from TPW's Environmental Management Section (EMS) to conduct work at either:

• Takes place within the provincial right-of-way (eg.  Road or culvert construction, water or sewer installation, subdivision construction outside the cities limits of Charlottetown and Summerside); or
• Has potential to impact eh provincial Right-of-way (eg.  Landscaping or construction of ditch that directs storm water, sediment, etc. towards a highway ditch.

To get an EMS Approval-to-proceed, fill out an application and mail it to the EMS office.  A Department representative will then contact you to review the proposed work prior to issuing an EMS Approval-to-Proceed complete with conditions-of-approval.
