12.  SCREENING
 SCOPING
 IMPACT PREDICTION
 IMPACT MITIGATION
 REPORTING
 REVIEW
 DECISION MAKING
 MONITORING
 POST DEVELOPMENT AUDIT

13. SCREENING
 Determine whether a
particular project
requires preparation of
EIA or not.

14. SCOPING
 An exhaustive list of all likely impacts drawing
information from as many sources as possible was
prepared.
 The next step was to select a manageable number of
attributes, which were likely to be affected due the
proposed project.
 The various criteria applied for selection of the
important impacts include magnitude, extent and
significance.

15. Scoping requires the collection of
data

16. INFORMATION
COLLECTED FROM
THE VARIOUS
RESOURCES SUCH
AS GIS, SATELLITE
IMAGERY, EXPERT
KNOWLEDGE,
AUDIT REPORT OF
SIMILAR EIA.

17. PREDICTION OF IMPACT

25. POST DEVELOPMENT AUDIT
 After a project has been established a survey done
after few years to know whether a project working in
