Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) represents a systematic and well defined process which examines the environmental consequences of the development actions of any proposed activity beforehand. The existing guidelines have been prescribed by a Government of India (MOEF) notification. Screening Scoping, Public Hearing followed by appraisal are the primary components of an EIA. A case study has been presented for the proposed establishment of a coal beneficiation plant. After conducting baseline environmental study, the incremental pollution loads have been assessed. The cumulative analysis of the study suggests that the project is environmentally feasible.

Abstract


Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) represents a systematic and well defined process which examines the environmental consequences of the development actions of any proposed activity beforehand. The existing guidelines have been prescribed by a Government of India (MOEF) notification. Screening Scoping, Public Hearing followed by appraisal are the primary components of an EIA. A case study has been presented for the proposed establishment of a coal beneficiation plant. After conducting baseline environmental study, the incremental pollution loads have been assessed. The cumulative analysis of the study suggests that the project is environmentally feasible.
