Detailed study to determine the type and level of effects an existing facility is having, or a proposed project would have, on the environment.
Environmental Impact Assessment
Environmental Impact Identification
- DIRECT IMPACTS
- INDIRECT IMPACTS
- CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
Implementation phase impact: large scale and short term changes occur in the environment
Site Preparation
Implementation phase impact: continuous and long term environmental impacts
Project Operation
Implementation phase impact: recovery and remedial measures for the environment rehabilitation
Project Termination
3 Implementation Phases
- Site Preparation
- Project Operation
- Project Termination
6 Stages of the EIA Process
- Screening
- Scoping
- EIA Study Report and Preparation
- EIA Report Review and Evaluation
- Decision Making
- Monitoring, Validation, and Evaluation/Audit
to determine whether a proposed project requires an EIA or not.
also determines what document type the proponent will prepare and submit to EMB for ECC application as well as the endorsing and decision authorities.
Project Screening
2 Types of Scoping

- Technical Scoping
Community raised their issues to be addressed in the EIA Study
Public Scoping
Project Briefing and discussion of screening/scoping checklist
Technical Scoping
Decision document issued to the proponent after
thorough review of the EIA report
Environmental Compliance Certificate
It outlines the commitments of the proponent which are necessary for the project to comply with existing
environmental regulations or to operate within the
best environmental practice that are not currently
covered by existing laws
Environmental Compliance Certificate
2 Types of Monitorting under EIA
- Table monitoring
- Site monitoring
Certification issued by the EMB
certifying that based on the
submitted PD or threshold
parameter (EMB MC 2014-005), the
project is not covered by the EIS
System and is not required an ECC
Certificate of Non-Coverage
