how are you assess about adverse on environment

1. Environmental
Assessment
Chapter 2

2. Table of contents
What is environment engineering.
Environmental impact analysis
Different steps of Environmental impact
How to conducted the Environmental Assessment

3. Engineer philosophy
 Public verdict .
1. Know about the problem.
2. Create new techniques.
3. Evaluate the alternatives .
4. Implementation of new one
5. Periodical and reconsideration of executed

4. Environmental Impact
What is NEPA?
Council of Quality Environment
1. Monitoring all the federal Activities.
2. To evaluate these problems
3. Elucidation to these problems
 What people think in 1970 about NEPA?
• how much impact of proposed action on environment
• Any adverse environmental effect
• Alternative to proposed actions
• Relationship between local short term(man’s environment) and long term productivity
• Commitments of reosuces.

5. Certified project
FONSI
Potential environment impact are compared with the significant check list impacts
Environmental Assessment
 Detail assessment of Environmental impact
Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)
Environmental impact of both proposed and alternative actions.
Its sequence is described by the law
1. First issued the Draft EIS by federal agency
2. Then issued a final EIS after hearing and including comments.
these are assessment reports not judgment

6. these are assessment reports not judgment
Record of decision(ROD)
final decision about action proposed , alternatives and any valuable judgments
 “justify or faulty the projects”
 difficult to apply
 Environment assessment procedure include the socio-economic pattern
1. In economic section it include the no. of jobs , income and property value.
2. Include the archaeological and historical impacts.
Engineer must take care about the quantitative measurable impact and qualitative
assessment.

7. Environment assessment
1. Scoping : scope or extent of the assessment. One public hearing is generally held
on scoping.
2. Inventory : Susceptible area and activities also socioeconomic.
3. Assessment : Impact of both proposed and alternatives , cumulative.
4. Evaluation : interpretation of these findings.
federal agencies must inspect the individual and extended programme and projects
Generic environmental impact statement( GEIS)
programmatic environmental impact statement (PEIS).

8. Environmental Inventories
Project alternatives inventory factors
1. the “ologies”
2. Environmental quality
3. Plant and animal life
4. Economic impact
5. Analysis of the risks
6. Relevant Socio-economic Parameter

9. The process of calculating projected effects that a proposed action or construction
project will have on environmental quality is called environmental assessment.
both have same procedure but different effects.
Checklist are both primary and 2ndry effects on environment.
The highway project have three phase
Planning
Construction
operation

10. Used arbitrary scale for impact factor
