    OVERVIEW:

    • Presentation revolve around Initial Environmental examination(IEE) and


    Environmental impact assessment(EIA).Any developmental project should be
    proceed under environmental protection orders to address environmental
    hazards and assess the impact and tries to minimize.
    Environmental Regulations

    • The National Environment Action Plan 1 (NEAP) was adopted in the National
    Assembly in 1994.
    • The Forest Act and the Environmental Protection Law (EPL) have been
    enforced since 1996 and 1999 respectively

    • The STEA was established in a reorganization of the STENO, the first authority
    established in 1993 to control the environment
    Environment Assessment System(EAS)
    • In 2000, the STEA issued a ministerial ordinance for a general rule for
    Environment Assessment (EA), based on the Environmental Protection
    Law enforced in 1999.

    • For proposed projects, the rule requires

    • (i) The necessity of consideration for the environment,


    • (ii) Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) shall be carried out
    • (iii) The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) shall be proposed
    Introduction to IEE
    Initial Environmental Examination

    • Definition:
    • Describe the environmental condition of a project.
    • Include potential impact, formulation of mitigation measures, and preparation of
    institutional requirements and environmental monitoring.
    OR
    Initial study,(preliminary action) survey or analysis of data that predict impact of
    project on environment and health.
    Give preventive & mitigatory measures.
    Objectives of IEE

    • To examine possible effects caused by the project


    • To conduct an IEE in a short time with inexpensive cost.

    • Assess the compliance with environmental safeguard requirements and


    applicable environmental laws,

    • Incorporate mitigation measures in the project design.


    • Preparation of Environmental Management & Monitoring Plan (EMMP)
    Characteristics of IEE
    • Three sections of the IEE
    • (1) Should describe the program or activity.

    • (2) Characterize the physical and social environments potentially affected by the
    program or activity.

    • (3) IEE should evaluate the potential impact of the proposed activities on these
    environments.
    Principle of IEE

    • The guideline provides the detailed criteria for the screening and scooping
    as well as the reference formats.
    Environmental impact Assessment:
    Introduction
    • EIA is the evaluation of the effects likely to arise from a major project
    significantly affecting the environment.

    • Systematic process for considering possible impacts prior to decision making.

    • EIA was first introduced in legislation in the United States.


    • EIA is practiced in more than 100 countries
    Classification of EIA

    • EIA can be

    • Climate impact assessment.


    • Development impact assessment.
    • Ecological impact assessment.
    • Economic and fiscal impact assessment.
    • Health impact assessment.
    Purpose of EIA

    • To supply decision-makers with an indication of the likely environmental


    consequences of their actions.

    • Ensuring that development only proceeds in an acceptable manner.

    • EIA provides the mechanisms for development proposals.


    Principles of EIA Process

    • Screens out environmentally unsound projects


    • Proposes modified designs to reduce envl. impacts
    • Identifies feasible alternatives.
    • Predicts significant adverse impacts.
    • Identifies mitigation measures to reduce major impacts.
    • Engages affected communities and individuals.
    • Influences decision making.
    WHO PREPARES AN EIA?

    • An EIA will be assigned to one of two parties:

    • (1) Government agency or ministry,


    • (2) Project proponent.
    Roles of EIA
    • EIA have two Roles:
    1. Legal
    2. Educational:

    Legal role:-
    To ensure that development projects such as a housing estate or some such
    construction project has a minimal impact on the environment in its entire
    lifecycle.
    i.e. during designing and construction
    Cont..

    Educational role:-

    • To educate everyone involved both professionals and users.


    • We need to look at all our daily actions as eventually and cumulatively affecting
    the environment.
    • This includes our daily choices
