2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA)
 "Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the
process of assessing the likely environmental
impacts of a proposal and identifying options to
minimize environmental damage. The main
purpose of EIA is to inform decision makers of
the likely impacts of a proposal before a
decision is made. EIA provides an opportunity to
identify key issues and stakeholders early in the
life of a proposal so that potentially adverse
impacts can be addressed before final approval
decisions are made." (Australian EIA Network)

3. AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
 An EIA should:
 describe the proposed action;
 estimate the nature and magnitudes of the likely
environmental changes (including the action-induced effects) ;
 identify the relevant human concerns;
 define the criteria to be used in measuring the significance of
environmental changes, including the relative weighting to be
assigned in comparing different kinds of changes;
 estimate the significance of the predicted environmental
changes, i.e., estimate the impacts of the proposed action;
 make recommendations for one of the following:
 acceptance of the project
 remedial action;
 acceptance of one or more alternatives;
 rejection;
 make recommendations for inspection procedures to be
followed after the action has been completed.
