ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
PARAMETERS FOR ASSESEMENT
The EIA should identify, describe and assess the direct and indirect effects
of a project on the following factors:
Human beings
Fauna and flora
Soil, Water & Air
Climate and the landscape
Material Assets
Cultural Heritage
Interaction between all above factors
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
The Following Impacts of the Project should be Assessed:
Air:
- Changes in ambient levels and ground level concentrations
due to total emissions from point, line and area sources.
- Effects on soils, materials, vegetation, and human health.
Noise:
- Changes in ambient levels due to noise generated from
equipment and movement of vehicles.
- Effect on fauna and human health.
Water:
- Availability to competing users.
- Changes in quality.
- Sediment transport.
- Ingress of saline water.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
Land:
- Changes in land use and drainage pattern.
- Changes in land quality including effects of waste disposal.
- Changes in shoreline/riverbank and their stability.
Biological:
- Deforestation /tree-cutting and shrinkage of animal habitat.
- Impact on fauna and flora (including aquatic species, and
migratory path/route of animals.
- Impact on breeding and nesting grounds.
Socio-Economic:
- Impact on the local community including demographic changes.
- Impact on economic status.
- Impact on human health.
- Impact of increased traffic.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
Agriculture
Construction (Road networks, Malls, Townships, Dam etc)
Industries
Electrical projects
Waste disposal
Any developmental projects around Protected Areas / Nature Preserves
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
THE MAIN STEPS IN EIAs PROCESS
SCREENING
to determine which projects or developments require a full or partial impact
assessment study.
SCOPING
to identify which potential impacts are relevant to assess (based on legislative
requirements, international conventions, expert knowledge and public involvement),
to identify alternative solutions that avoid, mitigate or compensate adverse impacts
on biodiversity (including the option of not proceeding with the development,
finding alternative designs or sites which avoid the impacts, incorporating safeguards
in the design of the project, or providing compensation for adverse impacts), and
finally to derive terms of reference for the impact assessment.
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION OF IMPACTS AND DEVELOPMENT OF
ALTERNATIVES,
to predict and identify the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or
development, including the detailed elaboration of alternatives;
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT
DECISION-MAKING
on whether to approve the project or not, and under what
conditions; and
MONITORING, COMPLIANCE, ENFORCEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITING.
Monitor whether the predicted impacts and proposed mitigation measures occur
as defined in the EMP. Verify the compliance of proponent with the EMP, to
ensure that unpredicted impacts or failed mitigation measures are identified and
addressed in a timely fashion
