4. Getting to Know your EIA Report

Virtual Tutorial

  1. What is a baseline study or survey and why is it important?
  2. In an EIA study, what are classified as the noise sensitive receivers?
  3. What are the air sensitive receivers?
  4. What are the receivers that are sensitive to water pollution?
  5. Can I know more about the ecologically important areas and the baseline ecological survey?
  6. I have a better understanding of the baseline survey now.
    Can I know more about the techniques in impact prediction and evaluation?

Yes, certainly. Once the baseline conditions have been established, the next stage will be a detailed assessment undertaken to forecast the characteristics of the main potential impacts of the project and to determine their significance.

Remember, impact prediction can be a technical exercise. Different techniques ranging from simple qualitative description to advanced mathematical modeling can be used for impact predication. Let's see what you want to know more.

  1. Can you show me the approach in quantifying the noise impacts?
     
  2. How can I quantify the air quality impact using models?
     
  3. Are there different models for quantifying the water quality impacts?
     
  4. I want to know more about the approach and methodology for assessing the ecological impacts.
     
  5. I think the predictive techniques used in the EIA are too technical for me. Instead, I am interested to know more about the practical mitigation measures for various environmental impacts.
