Impacts should be identified using a systematic methodology such as 2.2. 1 project specific checklists, matrices, panels of experts, consultations etc. Supplementary methods (e.g. cause-effect or network analyses) may be needed to identify secondary imoacts. 2.2.2 A brief description of the impact identification methods should be given as should the rationale for using them. Overall 2.2 I 2.3 Scoping: Not all impacts should be studied m equal depth. Key impacts should be identified, takmg into account the views of mterested parties, and the main investigation centered on these. There should be a genuine attempt to contact the general public and special 2.3.1 interest groups - clubs. societies etc. - to appraise them of the project and its implications. (/ Page 3 of 9 REVIEW CHECKLIST FOR ENVIRONMENT AL IMP ACT ASSESSMENT (ElA) REPORTS Arrangements should be made to collect the opinions and concerns of 2.3.2 relevant publ ic agencies. special interest groups. and the general public. Public meetings. seminars. discussion groups etc. may be arrnnged to facilitate this.** Key impacts should be identified and selected for more intense 2.3.3 investigation. Impact areas not selected for thorough study should nevertheless be identified and the reasons they requi re less detailed investigation should be given.** Overall 2.3 I 2.4 Prediction of impact mae:nitude: The likely impacts of the development on the environment should be described in exact terms wherever possible. The data used to estimate the magnitude of the main impacts should be 2.4.1 sufficient for the task and should be clearly described or their sources be clearly identified. Any gaps in the required data should be indicated and the means used to deal with them in the assessment should be explained.** 2.4.2 The methods to predict impact magnitude should be described and be aoorooriate to the size and imoortance or the projected impact.** Where possible. predictions or impacts should be expressed in measurable 2.4.3 quantities with ranges and/or confidence limits as appropriate. Quali tative descriptions. where these are used. should be as fully defined as possible (e.g. insignificant means not perceptible from more than 100 m distance). Overall 2.4 I 2.5 Assessment of impact significance: The expected significance that the projected impacts will have for society should be estimated. The sources of quality standards, together with the rationale, assumptions and value judgments used in assessing significance, should be fully described. The significance to the affected community and to society in general should 2.5. 1 be described and clearly distinguished from impact magnitude. Where mitigating measures are proposed. the significance of any impact remaining after mitigation, should also be described.** The significance ofan impact should be assessed. taking into account 2.5.2 appropriate national and international quality standards where avai lable. Account should also be taken of the magnitude. location and duration of the impact in conjunction with nat ional and local societal values. The choice of standards. assumptions and value systems used to assess 2.5.3 significance should be justified and any contrary opinions should be summarized. Overall 2.5 I rJ . Page 4 of 9 REVIEW CHECKLIST FOR ENVIRONMENT AL IMP ACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORTS Review Area 3 RATING I COMMENT 3 ALTERNATIVES AND MITIGATION Alternatives: Feasible alternatives to the proposed project should have been considered. These should be outlined in the EIA report, the environmental 3.1 implications of each presented, and the reasons for their rejection briefly discussed, particularly where the preferred project is likely to have significant, adverse environmental impacts. Alternatives sites should have been considered where these arc practicable 3. 1.1 and available to the developer. The main environmental advantages and disadvantages of these should be discussed and the reasons for the fi nal cho ice given. ** Where available, al ternative processes, designs and operating conditions should have been considered at an early stage of project planning and the 3. 1.2 environmental implications of these investigated and reported where the proposed project is likely to have significantly adverse environmental impacts.** If unexpectedly severe adverse impacts arc identi fied during the course o f 3.1.3 the investigation. which are difficult to mitigate, a lternatives rejected in the earlier olannin2 nhases should be rc-aooraised. Overall 3.1 I 3.2 Scope and effectiveness of mitigation measures: All significant adverse impacts should be considered for mitigation. Evidence should be presented to show that orooosed mitiirntion measures will be effective when implemented. The mitigation o f all sign ificant adverse impacts should be considered and. 3.2. 1 where practicable. specific mitigation measures should be put fo rward. Any residual or unmitigated impacts should be indicated and justification offered as to why these impacts should not be mitigated. Mitigation methods considered should include modification of the project. 3.2.2 compensation and the provision of alternative facil ities as well as pollution contro l. It should be clear to what extent the mitigation methods will be effective 3.2.3 when implemented. Where the effectiveness in uncerta in or depends on assumptions about operating procedures. climatic conditions. etc, data should be introduced to justify the acceptance of these assumptions. Overall 3.2 I Page 5of 9 REVIEW CHECK.LIST FOR ENVIRONMENT AL IMP ACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORTS 3.3 Commitment to mitigation: Developers should be committed to, and capable of, carrying out mitigation measures and should present plans of how they propose to do so. There should be a clear record of the commitment of the developer to the 3.3. 1 mitigation measures presented in the EIA report. Details of how the mitigation measures will be implemented and function over the timespan for which they arc necessarv should also be e.iven.** Monitoring arrangements should be proposed to check the environmental impacts resu lting from the implementation of the project and their 3.3.2 conformity with the predictions within the EIA report. Provision should be made to adjust mitigating measures where unexpected adverse impacts occur. The scale of these monitoring arrangements should correspond to the likely scale and significance of deviations from expected impacts.** Overall 3.3 I Page 6 of 9 REVIEW CHECKLIST FOR ENVIRONMENT AL IMP ACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORTS Review RATI NG I COMMENT Area 4 4 COMM UN ICATION OF RESULTS Layout: The layout of the EIA report should enable the reader to find and assimilate data easily and quickly. External data sources should be 4.1 acknowledeed. 4.1.1 There should be introduction briefly describing the project. the aims of the environmental assessment and how those aims arc to be achieved. Information should be logically arranged in sections or chapters and the 4.1.2 whereabouts of important data should be signaled in a table of contents or index.** 4.1.3 Un less the chapters themselves arc very short. there should be chapter summaries outlining the main findings or each phase of the investigation. When data. conclusions or quality standards from external sources are 4. 1.4 introduced. the original source should be acknowledged at that point in the text. A full reference should also be included either in the acknowledeement. at the bottom of the oaec. or in a list of references. Overall 4.1 I 4.2 Presentation: Care should be taken in the presentation of information to make sure that it is accessible to the non-specialist. l nfonnation should be presented so as to be comprehensib le to the non 4.2.1 specialist. Tables, graphs and other devices should be used as appropriate. Unnecessarily technical or obscure language should be avoided. Technical tenns, acronyms and initials should be defined. either when first 4.2.2 introduced into the text or in a glossary. Important data should be loresented and discussed within the main text. The EIA report should be presented as an integrated whole. Summaries of 4.2.3 data presented in separately bound appendices should be introduced in the main body of the text. Overall 4.2 I Page 7 of 9 REVIEW CHECKLIST FOR ENVIRONMENT AL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORTS 4.3 Emphasis: Information should be presented without bias and receive the emphasis appropriate to its importance in the context of the E IA Reports. Prominence and emphasis should be given to potential ly severe adverse 4.3.1 impacts as well as to potentially substantial favorable environmental impacts. The EIA report should avoid according space dispropo11ionately to impacts which have been well investigated or are beneficial.** The F.IA report should be unbiased: it should not lobby for any particular 4.3.2 point of view. Adverse impacts should not be disguised by euphemisms or platitudes. Overall 4.3 I 4.4 Non-technical summary: There should be a clearly written non-technical summary of the main findines of the study and how they were reached. There should be a non-technical summary of the main findings and 4.4.1 conclusions of the study. Technical tenns. lists of data and detailed explanations of scientific reasoning should be avoided.** The summary should cover all main issues discussed in the EIA report and contain at least a brier description of the project and the environment. an 4.4.2 account of the main mitigation measures to be undertaken by the developer. and a description of any significant residual impacts. A brief explanation of the methods by which these data were obtained. and an indication of the confidence which can be placed in them. should also be included.
