ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA)

"Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the process of assessing the likely environmental impacts of a proposal and identifying options to minimize 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 stakeholders early in the life of a proposal so that potentially adverse impacts can be addressed before final approval decisions are made." (Australian EIA Network)

AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

An EIA should:  describe the proposed action;  estimate the nature and magnitudes of the likely environmental

changes (including the action-induced effects) ;  identify the relevant human concerns;  define the criteria to be used in measuring the significance of

environmental changes, including the relative weighting to be assigned in comparing different kinds of changes; 

estimate the significance of the predicted environmental changes, i.e., estimate the impacts of the proposed action;

make recommendations for one of the following: acceptance of the project remedial action; acceptance of one or more alternatives; rejection;

make recommendations for inspection procedures to be followed after the action has been completed.
