Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is necessary if the Ministry judges that the project is likely to have the potential for Adverse Impacts. This means generally those projects which
- involve multiple components and varied sources of pollution and/or pollutant types, requiring an integrated EMP (Environmental Management Plan) to be tailored specifically to mitigate such pollution;
- are characterized by a high risk of significant, adverse environmental or social impact;
- are of a type or size for which there is a lack of prior knowledge and experience as to what the potential adverse impacts may be and their size or significance; or
- where the significance of the potential environmental or social impact or the sensitivity/vulnerability of the recipients of those impacts requires a high level of environmental and social management expertise and skills and continued strict control and supervision throughout the life of the Project.
