Environment Impact Assessment: A tool to evaluate project sustainability

by Prayash Pathak (Chalise) | 10-02-2019 01:02 recommendations 0

Construction or development activities are being rapidly done all over the world. The major issue is to conduct such activities along with the environmental conservation activities. So, the need of evaluating the consequences of such projects on environment is done by the help of EIA. EIA is simply the project tools which are used to identify and evaluate the environmental impacts of any construction projects. Environment Impact assessment is simply defined as the process of identifying the future consequences of a current or proposed action.

EIA is used to identify and predict the impact on the environment and on man¡¯s health and well being of legislative proposals, policies, programs, projects and operational procedures and to interpret and communicate information about the impact. The use of EIA began in 1970 in the USA and spread rapidly throughout the world. In Nepal, the Sixth Plan (1980-¡¯85) recognized the need for EIA for major infrastructure projects. EIA should be designed as a preventive measure.

The Environmental Impact Assessment has the following steps in any project. Major steps in the EIA process are:

è Screening

è Initial Environmental Examination (IEE)

è Scoping

è Full-Scale Assessment

è EIA Review and Decision Making

è Monitoring and Follow-Up

After completing all this steps, the project undergoes the following consequences, Approval , Approval with conditions, Approval subject to ongoing investigation , Further investigation required , Request for a supplementary, or new, EIA report  or Rejection. EIA is a process which should have influence at many stages and over a considerable period of time; it is not an activity aimed at producing a single set of results for use at one specific decision-making stage. The EIA process should be adaptive; scoping and assessment should continually evolve throughout the entire process as more information becomes known.

    Few days back I studied same Topic in Agriculture Project Planning, I think you also studied in same subject in Lamjung.
    I was also thinking to write articles in this topic here.
    Thank you for your report.

    Hello Prayash, EIA differs up to its own types of research methods in Initial Environmental Examination part and this sector requires a lot of money as it needs participation of various fields concerned with targeting environment or environmental problem solution. Increase of budget used into EIA often hinders people to use cheaper solution and tactics but it results in disappointing resolution and failing in achieving initial goal of the project :)
    Thanks to your report, I could review EIA system!

    Hello Prayash
    Remember learning this in class and truly the process to evaluate the consequences is important.
    EIA has set up a standard for how we could evaluate certain environmental impacts and hope this could be more widely applied.
    Thanks for the report on EIA!
