Which is the point of an environmental assessment: to look at the benefits and cost to the environment and document the net result.

This isn’t about declaring the project a hazard to the environment, this is skipping the process to determine if it is or isn’t a net good.

Who foots the bill for such an assessment?

Whoever is paying for the project. The same as who pays for all the permits and inspections.

I would think that's the reason why Boring Co. cancelled the project then. They probably need to get some "MVP" tunnels up and running as soon and as cheaply as possible.
