In legal and administrative processes, a negative declaration refers to a formal determination that a proposed project or action will not have a significant impact on the environment or other specified factors. It typically involves an environmental review process in which the potential effects of a project are assessed. If it is determined that the project will not result in adverse environmental impacts or other significant consequences, a negative declaration is issued. This document serves as an official statement that the project does not require further environmental review or mitigation measures. However, negative declarations can be subject to challenge or appeal if stakeholders believe that the assessment was flawed or incomplete.
