Introduction Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is assessment of impacts on the environment due to proposed activity and finding ways to mitigate the environmental impacts. These impacts are assessed based on many components such as environmental, socio-economic, cultural and human-health aspects. EIA is standardly defined as the study of impact on environment of proposed action like policy, plan or project. It is a process of anticipating or establishing the changes in the physical, ecological
INTRODUCTION Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a key aspect of many large scale preparation applications. It is a technique that is meant to help us understand the potential environmental impacts of major development proposals. We can say EIA is just an information gathering work out that is carried out by the developer and other bodies which enables a Local Planning Authority to understand the environmental effects of a development before reaching a decision whether or not the development
Introduction Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) refers to a tool that assists in limiting the potential environmental damage of various developments that are undertaken in an area (Handley & Handley, 2001). Other researchers and scholars consider EIA as a key aspect of many large-scale planning applications; whereby, the EIA is used as the technique that help developers understand the potential environmental impacts of any major development proposal (Wathern, 1988). EIA entails information gathering

Social Impact Assessment Introduction Geospatial techniques such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing play a pivotal role in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) and their various components such as ecological, social and hydrological impact assessment. These tools have proved so useful that they have also been
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) entails a multifaceted appraisement of the possible aftermath caused by a project or action on the surrounding man-made and natural environment (Wood, 2003). This systematic process requires the involvement of all interested stakeholders in the process and the public, in order to achieve a widespread consent on the planned project and mitigation strategies proposed [European Commission (EC), 2014]. EIA was firstly presented in the United States (US) in 1969 under
Environmental Management System Tools, their role, integration with EMS implementation and interaction – Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) – EIA will provide the organisation with the methodology and process to identify the potential environmental effects of their actions and activities before they are carried out. This makes it easier for the organisation to take environmental considerations into account at an early stage and allows for controls and mitigation to be built into any plans. An
Create or find definitions for Business Impact Assessment, Vulnerability Assessment, Penetration Test, and Risk Assessment.. The goal of a Business Impact Assessment is to look at each asset that has a risk of being compromised and identify all of the impacts the loss of the asset would or could have on the business’s operations. This can be used to identify whether the level of risk that an asset has is within an acceptable level and properly protect the assets that are important to the business
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is ‘the process of decision making by identifying the potentially significant environmental effects and risks of a project’. Environmental impact analysis is one of the stages of an EIA (Sadler and McCabe, 2002). Environmental impact analysis is a process of providing decision makers with an indication of the likely consequences of their action (Wathern, 2013). This stage comprises impact identification and determination of the significance of the impacts. Impact identification
Introduction Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) evaluates the environmental impact of policies, plans and programs (or strategic proposals/decisions). The objective of SEA is to mainstream the environmental consideration at the earlier phase of decision making and improved governance through reducing administrative burden via avoiding project level EIA and duplication along the ministries (Fischer 2007; Therivel 2010; Fundingsland Tetlow and Hanusch 2012). Australia has more than 30 years of
the efficacy and impact of risk assessment in young ‘offenders’. Introduction A risk assessment is a structured tool used to analyse young offenders who are aged between 10 to 17 years old. The individuals would have to come into contact with the young offending teams because they would be receiving a final warning, community or custodial sentence in order to get the assessment done. They are used to plan sentences and intervention and used as pre sentence reports. This assessment would determine
The No Child Left Behind Act: Impact on the Assessment of Special Education Students Three years after the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) moved into our schools there is a great deal of controversy that questions whether the act implemented by President George W. Bush is helping or hurting an already suffering school system. There are many dimensions of the NCLB act that have been questioned over the past three years; the fair assessment of students with disabilities is one of them. As the National
summarizing what students have learned and for ranking students and schools. The problem is standardized tests cannot provide the information about student achievement that teachers and students need day-to-day. Classroom assessment can provide this kind of information. Formative assessment to inform instruction and guide student learning is being underutilized. Many students are not given feedback that is effective in helping them see where they are in regard to reaching the learning goals or that provides
like environmental impact assessment, principles of natural resources, environmental law, environmental auditing, environmental monitoring systems and techniques have broadened my knowledge of Environmental Management. My abilities in report writing, independent research and presentation were immensely improved in my undergraduate final year project and seminar. One of my undergraduate courses on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) increased my interest in Environmental Assessment. The course explored

This company has and continues to heavily make a strong impact on Canada’s oil sands resources and have “conventional oil and natural gas productions” located in Alberta and Saskatchewan (Cenovus Energy, n.d.). With innovating technology, people, and machinery Cenovus Energy has manage to create a strong reputation

ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) and STRATEGIC ENVIROMENTAL ASSESSMENT (SEA) Environmental management awareness rose up for last decades until today. So in managing and avoiding environmental degradation happen continuously, the are several policy and regulation formed from time to time. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) And Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is two of environmental protection that being implemented. Most country have the same policy but in own standard of control
environmental impact assessment (EIA) is generally defined as the study of the impacts of the projects, programs, and plans proposed regarding environment (Wathern, 2013). The EIA foundation was established in 1970, by the endorsement of the National Environment Policy Act (NEPA). A legal, methodological, as well as practical foundation was founded by NEPA in USA. This essay demonstrates the role of EIA, describing the types of IEA. It aims to facilitate and understand environmental impact assessment regarding
