ASSESSMENT
An environmental impact assessment is a formal
process used to predictthe environmental
consequences of aplan ,policy, program of project
priorthe implementationdecision, itproposes
measures to adjust impacts to acceptable levels or to
investigate new technologicalsolution.
INTRODUCTION:-

3. 1) E.I.As beganto beused inthe
year 1960 as part of rational
decisionmakingprocess.
2) It involved atechnical
evaluation that worldleadto
objectivedecisionmaking.
3) E.I.Awas made legislation in
the USin the NATIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
(nepa) in 1969.

4. *NEED OF E.I.A :-
1) To maintain quality of
environment it is
necessary to study
impacts of project on
environment.
2) This also suggests
remedial measures for
development of projects.

5. MAIN STEPS IN
E.I.A’s PROCESS : -
1) screening
2) scoping
3) prediction &
mitigation
4) audit

6. *1) SCREENING-Screeningoften results in a
categorization of the projectand from this a decisionis
made on whether or not afullE.I.A is to be carried out.
2) SCOPING-Itis the process of determiningwhich are
the most critical issues to study and willinvolve
communityparticipation to some degree. It is at this
early stage that E.I.A can most strongly influencethe
outlineproposal.
3) PREDICTIONAND MITIGATION-Detailed
predictionand mitigation studies followscoping and
are carried out in paralleled with feasibilitystudies .

7. *4) AUDIT- Finally, an
audit of the E.I.A
process is carried out
some time after
implementation . The
audit serves a useful
feedback and learning
function.

8. *THE MAIN LAWS OF E.I.A
IN INDIA-
1) Water Act (1974).
2) Indian Wildlife
Protection Act (1972).
3) Air (Prevention &
Control of Pollution Act
(1981).
4) Environment (
Protection) Act (1981)

9. *CONCLUSION-:
1) E.I.A is a very beneficialstep
to check , whether the project
is environmental friendlyor
not .
2) Sinceeconomic
developmentis result of
interaction between natural
resource and technology
supported bydesignedfor
people, so all human activities
