Study Notes

Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

  • EIA is a planning and management tool to study and evaluate potential environmental consequences of proposed development projects.
  • It helps to identify beneficial and adverse environmental impacts, examine the significance of environmental implications, and assess whether adverse impacts can be mitigated.

Importance of EIA

  • EIA is a systematic evaluation of eco-friendly projects to ensure development projects are environmentally sustainable, socio-culturally acceptable, and economically feasible.
  • It reduces adverse environmental impacts, identifies impacts in a timely manner, and assesses the effects of development projects.

Environmental Assessment in Nepal

  • EIA was first introduced in Nepal in the 1960s with the formulation of the National Environment Protection Act.
  • The Sixth Five Year Plan (1980-1985) mentioned the need for EIA for major infrastructure projects.
  • The Seventh Five Year Plan (1985-1990) incorporated a national level policy on environment management.

Role of Environmental Assessment

  • Environmental assessment plays a crucial role in collecting information, considering alternatives, integrating environmental concerns with economic and social concerns, and avoiding irreversible effects.

Procedure for EIA

  • EIA involves the preparation of a report, which includes a description of the project, its likely environmental impacts, and measures to mitigate adverse impacts.
  • The report is prepared by a team of experts with relevant qualifications and experience.
  • The report is reviewed by the concerned authorities, and a public hearing is conducted to obtain feedback from stakeholders.

Eligibility Criteria for EIA Report Preparation

  • The report can be prepared by a person with a minimum of a bachelor's degree in environmental science, environmental management, or a related field, and at least three years of experience in EIA report preparation.
  • Alternatively, a person with a bachelor's degree in a related field, such as natural resource management, forestry, or biology, and at least three years of experience in EIA report preparation can also prepare the report.

Types of EIA Reports

  • There are three types of EIA reports: BES (Brief Environmental Study), IEE (Initial Environmental Examination), and EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment).
  • BES is a preliminary study to identify potential environmental impacts, while IEE is a more detailed study to assess the environmental implications of a project.
  • EIA is a comprehensive study to evaluate the environmental consequences of a project.

When to Conduct EIA

  • EIA should be conducted at the stage of project feasibility study, and before the project implementation.
  • It is necessary to conduct EIA for projects that have a significant impact on the environment.

Who Conducts EIA?

  • EIA can be conducted by a team of experts, including environmental scientists, natural resource managers, foresters, biologists, and engineers.
  • The team should have a minimum of three to five members, depending on the type of EIA report being prepared.

Test your knowledge on Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), including legal provisions and procedures.
