ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENT - ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENT - BACKGROUND AND PROCESS BACKGROUND AND PROCESS

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) may be defined as a formal process used to predict the environmental consequences of any development project. EIA thus ensures that the potential problems are foreseen and addressed at an early stage in the projects planning and design.

The phrase `Environmental Impact Assessment comes from Sec. 102 (2) of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 1969, USA.

OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES

The Environmental Impact Assessment should have the following objectives:

1. Predict environmental impact of projects 2. Find ways and means to reduce adverse impacts 3. Shape project to suit local environment 4. Present the predictions and options to the decision-makers The EIA statement should cover brief description of project,

brief description of existing environment, likely impact of project, the mitigation and protection measures, consideration of alternatives, and summary with conclusions.

NEED OF EIANEED OF EIA Based on this analysis we can draw up an

Environmental Management Plan that would ensure impact monitoring and mitigation planning.

Environmental Assessment enables us in carrying out Environmental Cost-Benefit Analysis of projects at an initial stage. It is thus a pre-cursor to detailed analysis of environmental impacts, which are taken up only if a need for the same is established.

Environmental Assessment provides a rational approach to sustainable development.

Before starting a major project, it is essential to assess the present environment without the project, and the likely impact of the project on the environment, when it is completed.

For analysis of environmental impacts, many professions and disciplines have to be involved. Like economic and engineering feasibility studies, Environmental Impact Assessment is a management tool for officials and managers who make important decisions about major development projects.

RESPONSIBILITES RESPONSIBILITES A National Committee on Environmental Planning &

Coordination (NCEPC) was established to be the apex body in the Department of Science and Technology.

Creation of a Department of Environment as a nodal agency to ensure environmental protection, to carry out environmental impact studies of proposed development projects, and to have administrative responsibility for pollution monitoring and control.

In 1989 the subjects of wildlife and forestry were added to the list and a new Ministry of Environment and Forests was created with the Prime Minister holding its charge.
