1.3.3 Scope of the EIA
EIAs include environmental, social, and consultation elements which are
integrated into the planning and decision-making process to avoid, reduce, or
mitigate adverse impacts and to maximise the benefits of a proposed project.
The emphasis of the EIA is to produce robust environmental and social
management plans (EMPs) which are able to effectively implement the
recommended mitigation measures identified in the EIA, during the life of the
Project and at the time of project decommissioning.
The overall EIA process is shown schematically in Figure 1.3 and the following
key steps are described in the subsequent sections.
• Screening and scoping
• Baseline data collection
• Stakeholder consultation
• Impact assessment
• Management plans
• Reporting and disclosure
Screening and Scoping
One of the main objectives of scoping is to identify the potentially significant
environmental issues relating to the implementation, operation and
decommissioning of the proposed Project that should be addressed as part of
the EIA. This enables the developer to address the key issues from the outset,
