EIA Report
Documentation of the EIA process and findings, presenting the anticipated impacts and proposed mitigation measures.
Public Health Assessment
Examining the effects of environmental impacts on human health within the EIA context.
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
A systematic process for evaluating the environmental effects of proposed policies, plans, or programs.
Impact Significance
Evaluating the importance of the predicted impacts in terms of their magnitude and relevance.
Sustainability Appraisal
Assesses how well a project, plan, or policy aligns with the principles of sustainable development.
Monitoring
Regularly checking to ensure that predicted impacts and proposed mitigation measures are as expected.
Screening Process
Determining whether a project requires an EIA and the level of detail necessary.
Baseline Conditions
Understanding the existing environmental, social, and economic conditions before the project begins.
Review of EIA Report
Examining the adequacy and accuracy of the information in the EIA report.
Environmental Risk Assessment
The process for evaluating the likelihood and consequences of environmental events caused by a project.
Impact Prediction
Forecasting the magnitude and extent of the identified impacts.
Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
A plan for managing and monitoring environmental measures during the construction and operation of a project.
Ecological Impact Assessment
A focused study on how a project affects ecosystems and their components, including species, habitats, and biodiversity.
