AVL's level of submission was at a standard which did not require an Environmental Scoping Document (which is essentially a rap on the knuckles/please explain) to be imposed by the EPA.

STAGE 3: Assessment of proposals
There are five key steps during this stage, however the first three steps are optional and the EPA will state whether these are required when it decides to assess the proposal (stage 2).
Step 1. Scoping the proponent environmental review
When additional assessment information is required, an Environmental Scoping Document is prepared by either the EPA or the proponent which defines the proposal specific requirements of the proponent's environmental review. The Environmental Scoping Document includes the preliminary key environmental factors that the proponent needs to address and the required work (including studies and investigations) that the proponent needs to carry out.
TMT was issued an Environmental Scoping Document by the EPA (file) in which it was asked to provide a LOT more information.

Other details:
EPA-prepared Environmental Scoping Document
Explanation of decision:
The proponent has provided detailed information in its referral documentation. However further studies, particularly related to groundwater and subterranean fauna, are required to determine the extent of the proposal's direct and indirect impacts, and how the environmental issues could be managed.
(The EPA are basically saying here 'nice try but come back when you've actually done the work')
