Environmental conservation is becoming increasingly important given the current scenario of booming industries in India. Businesses more than ever before, are expected to behave in a sustainable manner through improved environmental assessment and management. A sustainable business results in value creation for the company, its employees, customers, shareholders and the society as a whole. Therefore, before undertaking any project or major activity, it is important for you to undergo Environmental Impact Assessment.
What is an Environmental Clearance Certificate and How to Obtain It.pdfPranshuSharma18498
Environmental preservation is a critical global concern in the 21st century. With increasing industrialization, infrastructure development, and urbanization, the impact on the environment cannot be overstated
Economic, social and environmental change is inherent to development. Whilst development aims to bring about positive change it can lead to conflicts.
In the past, the promotion of economic growth as the motor for increased well-being was the main development thrust with little sensitivity to adverse social or environmental impacts.
The need to avoid adverse impacts and to ensure long term benefits led to the concept of sustainability.
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) can be defined as the systematic identification and evaluation of the potential impacts (effects) of proposed projects, plans, programs, or legislative actions relative to the physical, chemical, biological, cultural, and socioeconomic components of the total environment.
To disclose significant environmental effects of proposed projects to decision-makers and the public.
ii) To identify ways to avoid or reduce environmental damage.
iii) To prevent adverse environmental impacts by requiring implementation of feasible alternatives or mitigation measuresEnvironmental clearance or the ‘go ahead’ signal is granted by the Impact Assessment Agency in the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India.
All projects that require clearance from central government can be broadly categorized into the following:-
(1) Industries ..\Unit 1 notes\Environmental Clearance.docx
(2) Mining
(3) Thermal power plants
(4) River valley projects
(5) Infrastructure and CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zone)
(6) Nuclear power projects
Baseline information is important reference point for conducting EIA.
The term "baseline" refers to the collection of background information on the biophysical, social and economic settings proposed project area.
Baseline data are collected for two main purposes:
to provide a description of the status and trends of environmental factors (e.g., air pollutant concentrations) against which predicted changes can be compared and evaluated in terms of importance, and
to provide a means of detecting actual change by monitoring once a project has been initiated
important to establish mechanisms by identifying projects which requires EIA, and this process of selection of project is referred to as "Screening“
Scoping is to determine what should be the coverage or scope of the EIA study for a project proposal as having potentially significant environmental impactsEnvironmental impact assessment (EIA) can be defined as the systematic identification and evaluation of the potential impacts (effects) of proposed projects, plans, programs, or legislative actions relative to the physical, chemical, biological, cultural, and socioeconomic components of the total environment.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been described by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) as a method for assessing the potential environmental, social, and economic consequences of a proposed action. Its purpose is to provide decision-makers with information about the potential environmental implications of a project early in the planning and design process so they may choose an approach that will have the least negative influence on the environment.
Environment Impact Assessment: Significance, Process And Problemsinventionjournals
India is the seventh largest country in the world by geographical area. The huge population burden also brings with it a whole spectrum of social issues that have environmental implications. Any developmental endeavour requires not only the analysis of the need of such a project, the monetary costs and benefits involved but most important, it requires a consideration and detailed assessment of the effect of a proposed development on the environment. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Studies are inevitably undertaken to evaluate potential negative impacts as well as to formulate Environmental Management Plans to overcome the identified impacts. This research review paper focus on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) significance, process and impact assessment problems. The environment impact assessment significance reveals that, EIA should be made with the purpose for determining the current status of the environment and identifying impact of critical activities on environmental parameters.The results also reveal that EIA process concentrate on problems, conflicts and natural resource constraints which might affect the viability of a developmental activities. It also predicts how the project could harm to people, their homeland and their livelihoods. The results also state that, improper screening and unable to address the right issues are major drawback of the impact assessment process, where everyone has to consider it for decision making process. Hence, The EIA is a proven management tool used extensively by governments and NGO’s for project planning and approval. The Government bodies should look into the EIA significance and provide guidelines and checklist for understating an EIA for all the activities which deteriorate the environmental quality in general, to be more specific the projects and location of mining, landfills etc.

Are Gutters Necessary? Explore the details now!AmeliaLauren3
Gutters are typically installed at a slight downward slope to allow water to flow freely towards downspouts or drains – the downspout being the vertical pipe attached to the gutters. The water is subsequently transported by the downspout to either the ground or an underground drainage system. Maintaining a gutter system that is free of blockages and functional requires regular maintenance.
But, many wonder in what situations gutters are required and not required. In this ppt we will discuss in detail the matter, ‘Are Gutters Necessary?’

What is environmental impact assessment and its type_.pdf
1. What is environmental impact assessment and
its type?
Introduction
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure is created to identify, analyze, and
evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project or development.
EIA's main objective is to provide decision-makers with information on the potential
environmental impacts of a project or development and to identify ways in which these
impacts can be avoided or reduced.
EIA is usually required by law or regulation for specific types of projects or
developments including large-scale infrastructure projects, industrial facilities, or mining
operations. The objective of EIA is to assure that environmental considerations are
taken into account when deciding whether to proceed with a proposed project or
development.
2. Environmental Impact Assessment in India
Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006, which establishes the legal
framework for the implementation of EIAs in the country, governs Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) in India. The Notification was recently revised in 2020, and the
revised version came into effect on 14th September 2020.
Under the Notification, there are two categories-
Category A projects- which are likely to have significant environmental impacts are
required to undergo a comprehensive EIA process, which includes public consultation
and a detailed analysis of the potential environmental impacts of the project.
Category B projects- which are likely to have lesser environmental impacts are required
to undergo a less rigorous process, which may or may not include public consultation,
depending on the size and scale of the project.
Types of environmental impact assessment
There are several types of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), each with its own
specific purpose and scope. The most common types of EIA are:
1. Preliminary Environmental Assessment (PEA) - This type of assessment is
carried out at the earliest stages of a proposed project, and is conducted to
determine potential environmental impacts and establish whether a full EIA is
necessary.
2. Screening Environmental Assessment (SEA) - This type of assessment is used
to evaluate proposed projects and determine whether they are likely to have
significant environmental impacts that require a full EIA.
3. 3. Comprehensive Environmental Assessment (CEA) - This is the most detailed
and comprehensive type of EIA, and is used for large-scale or complex projects
that are likely to have significant environmental impacts. A CEA involves a
thorough analysis of potential impacts, as well as the development and
evaluation of mitigation measures.
4. Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) - It is used to identify the potential
environmental impacts of policies, plans, and programs at a regional or national
level, rather than for individual projects.
5. Cumulative Environmental Assessment (CEA) - This type of assessment is used
to evaluate the potential cumulative effects of multiple projects or activities in a
particular area, taking into account the combined impacts of these projects over
time.
6. Social Impact Assessment (SIA) - This type of assessment is used to evaluate
the potential social impacts of a project, such as impacts on local communities,
social structures, and cultural heritage.
Environmental Impact Assessment Significance
● It helps decision-makers to make informed decisions about whether to approve
or reject a proposed project or development.
● EIA can help to identify ways in which the potential environmental impacts of a
project can be avoided, minimized, or mitigated.
● It helps to ensure that projects are designed and implemented in a way that
minimizes harm to the environment and to local communities.
● EIA can help to ensure that economic development is balanced with
environmental protection and social welfare.
● EIA can help to promote transparency and public participation in
decision-making.
● It helps to build trust and legitimacy in decision-making processes and can
ensure that the concerns and interests of all stakeholders are taken into account.
4. ● EIA is an important tool for ensuring that economic development is balanced
with environmental protection and social welfare.
Conclusion -
In conclusion, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a crucial process that helps
decision-makers to identify and evaluate the potential environmental impacts of a
proposed project or development. In India, the EIA Notification of 2006 governs the
implementation of EIAs, which was recently revised in 2020. There are different types of
EIAs, including PEA, SEA, CEA, SEA, CEA, and SIA, each with its own specific purpose
and scope. Ultimately, EIA is an important tool for achieving sustainable development
and ensuring that economic growth is not achieved at the expense of the environment
and social well-being.
