Steps involved in obtaining the EC are:
•Application for Prior EC has to be made in Form 1 (and Form 1A
& Conceptual Plan for construction projects). Form 1A is for Item
8 construction projects. Conceptual Plan to be provided
•Screening – Category B projects (SEAC), whether EIA is
required or not. Category B1 and B2. MoEF to issue guidelines
for this.
All projects under Item 8b classified as Cat. B1 (Cat. B1 projects
would require EIA – so all construction projects may not escape
EIA entirely!)
•Scoping – For Category A and B1 projects – TOR for EIA to be
issued by EAC/SEAC. Scoping not required for Item 8 Cat. B
projects. Appraisal based only on Form 1 & 1A
•Public Hearing –Not applicable to all projects under Item 8
