ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA)
As a planning and decision-making tool, an EIA aims to minimize or avoid negative environmental effects before they occur, and incorporate �$���� ������������������� �� �������������� ����>#;H�JL�Identify potential effects of a projectL�Propose measures to mitigate those effectsL�Predict whether effects will remain after mitigation is implementedL�Follow up to verify anticipated effects and effectiveness of mitigationAn EIA involves a variety of factors, including the proposed project, the existing social and natural environment, community engagement, and ����������������������������� � �� ����
The EIA involves a wide variety of inputs from a diverse range of sources, including input from community & stakeholders in the immediate project area, the general public and other stakeholders groups, regulatory agencies, baseline studies, technical input from consultants, and previous ��% ��� � � �� �
An EIA is a process to predict environmental effects of proposed projectsbefore they are carried out

MITIGATION
In terms of mitigating potential impacts, the environmental impact assessment uses a variety of ��������#����� ������ � � �� &��� � ������������� U
Mitigation measures are actions that can be done to reduce or avoid the effects that a project could have on the environment
AVOID
MINIMIZE
RESTORE
REDUCE OR ELIMINATE
OFFSET
MONITOR
��AVOIDING the effect altogether (most preferred)
��MINIMIZING effects by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation
��RESTORING by applying rehabilitation techniques after the effect may have occurred, such as revegetation of disturbed areas
��REDUCING OR ELIMINATING the potential effect over time by preservation and maintenance operations
��OFFSETING potential effects through measures such as offsite habitat creation
��MONITORING the project over time to identify and reduce potential effects
