7.2 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY
This section describes the overall approach used for the assessment of impacts
and the identification of mitigation options. Topic-specific methodologies are
described in the introductory part of each section of the impact assessment. In
general, the assessment of impacts has proceeded through an iterative process
considering four key elements (Figure 7.1).
1. Prediction of potential impacts and their magnitude ie the consequences of
the proposals on the natural and social environment.
