ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACT ASSESSMENT
(EIA)

What is EIA?
 Why do we need EIA?
 How to conduct EIA?
 What are the steps of EIA?
DEFINITIONS OF
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT
ASSESSMENT (EIA)
 To identify and predict the impact on the
environment and on the man’s health and well-
being of legislative proposals, policies,
programmes, projects and operational
procedures, and to interpret and communicate
information about the impacts.
 An assessment of the impact of a planned
activity on the environment.
 “Environment assessment” describes a
technique and a process by which information
about the environmental effects of a project is
collected, both by the developer and from
other sources, and taken into account by the
planning authority in forming their
judgements on whether the development
should go ahead.
WHAT IS EIA?

 EIA is a study to identify, predict, evaluate and


communicate information about the impact of
environment of a proposed project and to detail
out the mitigating measure prior to project
approval and implementation.
AIM OF EIA
 The aim of the EIA is to assess the overall
impact on the environment of development
projects proposed by the public and private
sectors.
OBJECTIVES OF
EIA
 To examine and select the best from the project option
available.

 To identify and incorporate into the project plan appropriate


abatement and mitigating measures.

 To predict significant residual environmental impacts


predicted.

 To identify the environmental costs and benefits of the project


to the community.
WHY DO WE NEED
EIA?

 EIA is essentially a planning tool for preventing


environmental problems due to an action.

 It is seeks to avoid costly mistake in project


implementation, either because of environmental damages
that are likely to arise during project implementation or
because of modifications that are required subsequently in
order to make the action environmentally acceptable to
government and community.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT (EQA)

Environmental Quality Act. 1974, a new section i.e


section 34 A has been introduced which requires any
person intending to carry out any prescribed activity
