EIA is Environmental Impact Assessment. Environmental Impact Assessment is a tool used for decision making regarding projects, and developments. The Environmental Assessment is carried out by the prior to any development taking place by the developer or their agents - (typically Environmental Consultants). Environmental Assessment is carried out in order to produce an Environmental Statement. Which usually includes: A Non-Technical summary, a description of the project: location, design, scale, size etc. a description of the receiving environment, description of significant effects and the mitigating measures to be taken to minimise the effects of the project. Usually EIA is tied into a regulatory approval process.
