    The document discusses the purpose and process of environmental impact assessment screening. Screening determines if and what level of environmental impact assessment is required for a proposal. Outcomes may include no further assessment, a preliminary study, or a full assessment. Location and environmental criteria are considered in case-by-case screening.

    WEEK 3
    EIA SCREENING
    PURPOSE OF
    SCREENING
    PROCESS
    The purpose of screening
     Is to determine :
     Whether or not a proposal requires an EIA
     What level of EIA required

     Outcomes of screening
     Full or comprehensive EIA required
     More or limited EIA required
     Further study needed to determine EIA requirement
    or no further requirement for EIA
    Usually, screening has out of four
    outcomes:
    1. No further EIA requirement applies “ the proposal will have an
    insignificant impact”;
    2. A preliminary EIA study is required “ the proposal will have an
    environmental impact that must be addressed but can be
    mitigated”;
    3. A full or comprehensive EIA is required to complete the screening
    process “ the proposal will have a potentially significant
    environmental impact”; or
    4. An IEE (Initial Environmental Examination) is required “ the
    potential environmental effects of the proposal are unclear
    or uncertain”.
    SCREENING METHOD
    1. Legal / policy definition
    2. Inclusion list of projects (with or without
    thresholds)
    3. Exclusion list of projects
    4. Criteria for case-by-case screening
    extended screening procedures include:
    • Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) carried out in cases where the
    environmental impacts of a proposal are uncertain or unknown (e.g.
    new technologies or undeveloped areas);

    • Environmental overview carried out as a rapid assessment of the


    environmental issues and impacts of a proposal; and

    • Class screening carried out for a family of small projects or repetitive


    activities, where the environmental effects and means of mitigation
    are known but there is potential for cumulative impacts (e.g. dredging,
    road realignment, bank stabilization).
    What are the difference between iee and
    eia?
    The purpose of both are the same which are to ensure the particular proposed project is
    sustainable and all possible environmental impact of the proposed project are identified and
    adequately mitigate by the design project.

    Location and environmental criteria for
    case-by-case screening

    The following are important in determining significant effects:

    • Assimilative capacity of the natural environment


    • Environmental sensitivity
    • Environmental standard and objectives
    • Adjacent to protect or design areas
    • Within landscapes of special heritage values
    • Existing land use and commitments
    • Abundance and quality of natural resources
    EXTENDED SCREENING
    • Information required by decision-makers
    • Description of proposal
    • Condition and characteristic of environment
    • Applicable policy, planning and regulatory
    objectives
    • Identification of potential impacts
    • Degree of public concern and interest
    Project list for screening

    • Projects requiring a full EIA because of their likely


    environmental effects;
    • Projects not requiring a full EIA but warranting a further
    level of assessment ; and
    • Projects not requiring further environmental analysis (for
    example health and nutrition, institutional and human
    resource development and technical assistance).
    A proposal can be tested for significance
    by taking account of:
    • Location near to protected or designated areas or within
    landscapes of special heritage value;
    • Existing land use(s) and commitments;
    • The relative abundance, quality and regenerative capacity of
    natural resources;
    • The absorption capacity of the natural environment, paying
    particular attention to wetlands, coastal zones, mountain and
    forest areas; and
    • Areas in which the environmental quality standards laid down in
    law have been exceeded already.
