17. EIA impacts are those whose occurrence is not lasting and which eventually reverse
themselves, the affected system having returned to its previous statement. No change from
original state. e.g. trampling of road side vegetation during resurfacing, it recovers after a
few weeks to the point that there is no change from its original state.
