Environmental Impact Assessment
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a systematic process to identify, predict and evaluate the environmental effects of proposed actions in order to aid decision making regarding the significant environmental consequences of projects, developments and programmes.
EIA helps the stakeholders with the identification of the environmental, social and economic impacts of a proposed development before a decision is taking on whether or not to proceed. Particular attention is given in EIA practice to preventing, mitigating and offsetting the significant adverse effects of proposed undertakings.
PURPOSE OF EIA
EIA provides information for decision-making on the environmental consequences of proposed actions; and promotes environmentally sound and sustainable development through the identification of appropriate enhancement and mitigation measures
Environmental Impact Assessment is a tool used for decision making regarding projects, developments and programmes such as incinerators, airport runways, pig rearing and peat extraction. EIA is intended to identify the Environmental, Social and Economic impacts of a proposed development prior to decision making.
This means that it is easy to identify; 1. The most environmentally suitable option at an early stage. 2. The Best Practicable Environmental Option. 3. Alternative processes.
The project managers can then address these problems in order to avoid or minimise environmental impacts in conjunction with their project planning. This results in the likelyhood of the project planning stages running smoother
EXPLANATION
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the process of assessing the likely environmental impacts of a proposal and identifying options to minimise environmental damage. The main purpose of EIA is to inform decision makers of the likely impacts of a proposal before a decision is made. EIA provides an opportunity to identify key issues and
