Screening1

Screening is done to see whether a

project requires environmental

clearance as per the statutory

notifications.

Screening Criteriaare based upon:

Scales of investment

Type of development

Location of development.

Scoping2

Scoping is a process of detailing the

terms of reference of EIA.

Done by the consultant in

consultation with the project

proponent and guidance, if need be,

from Impact Assessment Agency

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: THE PROCESS

Introduction Process of EIANon-compliance:

Negative ImpactsCase Study

Assessment of Alternatives: For

every project, possible alternatives

must be identified and

environmental attributes compared

and ranked, covering both project

location and technology.

Delineation of Mitigating Measures:

Mitigation plan supplemented with

an EMP. Details of monitoring to be

included in the EMP.

EIA Report: It should provide clear

information to the decision maker

on difference scenarios with

alternatives. Uncertainties should be

clearly reflected in the report.

Pu6Impact Prediction4

Impact prediction is a way of

mapping the environmental

consequences of the significant

aspects of the project and its

alternatives.

Environmental impact can never be

predicted with absolute certainty .

Consider all possible factors and take

all possible precautions for reducing

the degree of uncertainty.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: THE PROCESS

Introduction Process of EIANon-compliance:

Negative ImpactsCase Study

Decision making process involves

consultation between the project

proponent (assisted by a consultant)

and the impact assessment authority

(assisted by an expert group if

necessary)

The decision on environmental

clearance is arrived at through a

number of steps including evaluation

of EIA and EMP.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT: THE PROCESS

Introduction Process of EIANon-compliance:

Negative ImpactsCase Study

EIA is intended to prevent or minimize potentially adverse environmental i

enhance the overall quality of the project.

The negative consequences which follow the non-compliance of EIA are:

Higher Project cost in long term.

Decreased project acceptance.

Reduced project design and reduced efficiencies across the organizat

Wastage of technology and return on technology investments.

Poor information , data protection and security.

Inadequate coordination among internal and external stakeholders.

Bottom Line : From human beings to fauna & flora , soil ,water & air, c

landscape , Material assets , cultural heritage and finally the interaction b

all is at stake.
