30 env ironment such as w ater, soil, air, fauna, flora, and examines the issue of resource management. Undertaking an EIA ensures that the effects of a given projec t are duly foreseen. As a result, negative impacts may be av oided, solutions to env ironmental problems found and actions w ith positive effects propos ed. EIAs are generally c arried out by a team of env ironmental specialists w ith the agreement of the competent authorities. The need for a project to be s ubmitted to an EIA depends on the loc al environmental legislation, w hich defines the projec ts that hav e to be studied in function of their c haracteristics, s uch as their size or environmental risk (e.g. stoc king and transforming fuel). The legislation also defines the w ay in w hich an EIA has to be c onducted. EIAs c an be done at tw o levels: a global strategic level and a more detailed level. Both levels are important. • The strategical EIA studies various alternative loc ations. It dev elops a process to assess the global impact of an event and helps c hoose a s ound place w here it c ould take plac e w ithout causing irr eversible damage to nature. It assists in identifying areas w here an environmentally s ound ev ents management is possible. • The det ailed EIA takes place after the location has been chosen. It s tudies the details of construction and proposes actions to av oid or reduc e the impac t of infrastructure. Methodology • Collect env ironmental data. Establish the initial state of the regional env ironment. Draw up a list of environmental losses and benefits for the region generated by the event. • Ev aluate the environmental problems. Foresee the future needs of the city and the region. Identify the env ironmental and s ocial impacts . • Define a global environmental policy that takes into consideration the respect for the env ironment according to the princ iple of sustainable dev elopment. The ev ent should be planned w ith a view to integrating, under the framew ork of the environmental policy of each country, the loc al, national, and regional situations at different lev els : - land use plans - environmental policy - sports policy and after-us e of the installations
31 • Outline the env ironmental objectives for the event and indic ate the main concepts. Below are a ser ies of pot ential c onc epts: - strengthen the development of the region - protect the c haracter of the region and the regional interests - minimize the env ironmental impacts - ensure env ironmental friendliness of related buildings and dev elopment work - adapt des igns to ex isting landsc ape - us e temporary s truc tures for the equipment not needed in the future - encourage technic al and organizational environmental s olutions - ensure environmental quality for all features of the ev ent - promote a new economic approach in the long term - improv e the quality of life - promote and introduce environmentally sound technologies in the region • Seek variants and alternativ es. Propos e various solutions for the location. Carry out social and env ironmental analys es , and strategic al EIAs for all the alternativ es in order to optimize the choice of location. • Draw up environmental standards (guidelines) for the event. Es tablish policy documents for the follow ing areas of action (s ee als o sub-s ection 2.5.3). Carry out a detailed EIA for: - location and landsc aping - sports facilities - sports equipment - trans por tation - accommodation and catering - w ater management and sanitation - energy - w aste management - administration - monitoring and aw areness programmes • Ensure c oordination, c ollaboration and tec hnic al s upport. • Plan an environmental budget covering env ironmental s tudies , protection and restoration measures, and environmental education and public aw areness-rais ing programmes before, during and after the event. • Guarantee the restoration of temporary sites and ins tallations. • Ensure the commitment to env ironmental protec tion by all the partic ipants in the event. • Foresee environmental c ompensation measures acc ording to residual impac ts (i.e. compensate the destruction of natural areas by recreating natural areas elsew here). • Inform, motivate, c ommunicate and educate. People must understand the policies and object iv es.
