Scoping
Identification of the significant issues and impacts that need to be assessed.
Baseline Conditions
Understanding the existing environmental, social, and economic conditions before the project begins.
Impact Identification
Recognizing the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts of the project.
Impact Prediction
Forecasting the magnitude and extent of the identified impacts.
Impact Significance
Evaluating the importance of the predicted impacts in terms of their magnitude and relevance.
Mitigation Measures
Proposing actions to avoid, minimize, rectify, or compensate for negative impacts.
Public Participation
Involving the public and stakeholders in the EIA process to gather their input and concerns.
EIA Report

Review of EIA Report
Examining the adequacy and accuracy of the information in the EIA report.
Decision Making
The process whereby the competent authority approves, modifies, or rejects a project based on the EIA report.
Monitoring

Ensuring that the environmental benefits and burdens resulting from the project are distributed fairly.
Economic Impact Assessment
Evaluating the economic implications of a project including job creation, changes in property values, and fiscal impacts.
Environmental Risk Assessment
The process for evaluating the likelihood and consequences of environmental events caused by a project.
Sustainability Appraisal
Assesses how well a project, plan, or policy aligns with the principles of sustainable development.
