    (a) the relevant findings of the report are still valid;

    (b) the project is covered by that report, or is similar in nature, scale and locational characteristics of a project covered by that report; and

    (c) necessary additions, amendments and adjustments have been made to take into account any changes in the environment, assessment criteria and methodologies, or in the nature, scale, location and design of the project.
