Environmental Impact Assessment. The Lenders Independent Engineer would review the permits and licenses required for the construction and operation of the facility. The Environmental Impact Assessment report would be reviewed to address the general quality and accuracy of the environmental assessment of the project, the plume and dispersion modeling techniques and the meteorological data used. Guaranteed Emission levels would also be reviewed. The typical environmental issued to be addressed are: * Erosion Control Measures and other environmental protection measures during construction * Storage and handling of oils and hazardous chemicals during construction and operation. * Provisions for disposal of wastes and control of flooding during plant operation. * Provisions for control of air pollution emissions during plant operation.
Environmental Impact Assessment. 5.1 Prior to the submission of the planning application on 28th January 2015 the applicant submitted a Screening Report, requesting a Screening Opinion for the proposed development from SDC to ascertain whether the development would be ‘EIA development’ and require the submission of an Environmental Statement.
Environmental Impact Assessment. 7.1 The scale of development proposed at Outline stage and its nature required an Environmental Impact Assessment to be submitted in accordance with the 2017 EIA Regulations (as amended). The IRR stage will need to be repeated in order to assess the ES as a revised project. Once this has been completed the applicant will be invited to provide a response to the IRR addressing the clarifications and potential Regulation 25 request information requests raised. Any response provided by the Applicant will then be reviewed by the Local Planning Authority.
Environmental Impact Assessment. PanAfrican Tanzania shall undertake an environmental impact assessment study prior to each major operation in the Contract Area, including the drilling of the first well thereon, the costs of which shall be Recoverable Contract Expenses for the purposes of Articles X and XI and Annex D.
Environmental Impact Assessment. 1. Each Party shall maintain appropriate procedures for assessing the impacts of proposed projects that are subject to an action by that Party's central level of government that may cause significant environmental effects, with a view to eliminating, avoiding, minimizing, or mitigating adverse effects.
Environmental Impact Assessment. (a) The Concessionaire shall:
Environmental Impact Assessment. Owner shall be responsible for completing the Environmental Impact Assessment (“EIA”) and obtaining all necessary reviews and approvals of the EIA.
Environmental Impact Assessment. The process of Environmental Impact assessments (EIAs) is crucial for sustainable use of the Mekong. Through a properly functioning EIA process planned projects are made subject to discussion and thorough evaluation. The EIA also works as an early warning instrument through presenting potential hazards of the project and works in line with the precautionary principle. Article 17 of the Rio Declaration, comprising part of the principle of sustainable development,258 relates to EIA, thus making the EIA process part of the concept of sustainable development. As seen in section 3.7.1 of this thesis, the duty of notification and consultation of uses can be understood as to imply an obligation to undertake an EIA in order to determine if the threshold at which uses must be notified etc. is reached. In the case of the Mekong Agreement an EIA would thus need to be conducted to determine whether a proposed use will have a ‘significant impact’. The application of the principle of equitable utilisation would also seem to need some kind of EIA, especially in relation to such factors as are mentioned in Article 6 of the 1997 Water Convention.259 The process of an EIA is not required, or even referred to, in the Mekong Agreement. The NCA rules require the submission of information relating to “scope, scale, site, type, quantity, capacity, and characteristic, etc” and “attached available data and information and/or documents, e.g. summary of FS or IEE”,260 but an EIA process is not explicitly required and neither does it appear that the MRC has been given the possibility to require such a process, should the IEE indicate that more evaluation is needed. The MRC is working towards a framework for Transboundary Environmental Assessments,261 and a draft based on the Espoo convention has been prepared,262 but not yet been made public. However, the draft has reportedly 258 Xxxxxx and Xxxxx, 2002, p. 86.
Environmental Impact Assessment. To provide input and liaise with XXXXX concerning ongoing work with respect to the EIA, and the proposal of any adjustments to the scope, methodology, conclusions or other aspects of any the EIA as Electrabel considers to be reasonably required, with a view to ensuring that the EIA covers the feasibility of the proposed LTO and the specific scope and nature of the proposed implementation of the proposed LTO.
Environmental Impact Assessment. EIA is a formalised process of evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed development, taking into account inter-related ecological, socio-economic, cultural and human- health impacts. It is intended to provide the information needed to make a well-informed decision. EIA should explain the consequences and likely environmental outcomes of alternative options but does not necessarily provide a decision about whether or not a proposal should receive consent to proceed. EIA is not a decision-making process in itself, but aims to support decision making. As a general rule, good EIA is implemented as an open, transparent and independent process. It allows for full participation by interested parties and is carried out at such a time and in such a way that its results can influence decisions and environmental outcomes. The effectiveness of EIA in helping to deliver infrastructure projects which avoid significant adverse impacts on waterbird populations and their habitat is greatly enhanced if its principles and results are carried through into project operation and management, for example through environmental management plans and systems. As for SEA, the EIA process should be fully integrated with project design, implementation and management and should begin as early as possible, from the conceptual or pre-feasibility stage. EIA STEPS EIA procedures and methods vary considerably between countries but generally include the steps outlined in Box 2 together with their relevant waterbird considerations. Further guidance on these steps is given below. In many systems, Screening and Scoping are dealt with as separate stages, which may be separated in time and all be subject to specific legal requirements or requirements for reporting and review by the authorities. In such cases the EIA may be defined as stage 3 to 6. In this guidance we treat all the steps 1-10 as being part of a linked EIA process. It also should be noted that a consultation step is not included in Box 2. This is because, as discussed above, it is recommended that a participatory approach is implemented throughout the process.
