Study Notes
- The Environmental Assessment Study process consists of different phases including pre-feasibility study, feasibility study, project design and engineering, implementation, and completion with evaluation.
- Mitigation in the EIA process aims to prevent adverse impacts and keep them at an acceptable level through recommended actions like reducing, avoiding, or offsetting potential environmental consequences.
- Impact avoidance strategies include giving preference to prevention measures, avoiding certain projects, using measures to prevent impacts, and site remediation.
- Impact minimization involves scaling down or relocating the project, redesigning elements, and implementing measures to manage impacts effectively.
- Stakeholders in the EIA process include the project developer, interested and affected persons, regulators, funding institutions, consultants, and the general public.
