Environmental Impact Assessment

- Kali terakhir diubahsuai (Friday, 17 August 2007)

What is Environmental Impact Assessment?The aim of the environmental impact assessment

is to assess the overall

impact on the environment of development projects proposed by the public and private

sectors. The objectives of

environmental impact assessment are:

- To examine and select the best from the project options available;

- To identify and incorporate into the project plan appropriate abatement and mitigating

measures;

- To predict significant residual environmental impacts;

- To determine the significant residual environmental impacts predicted; and

- To identify the environmental costs and benefits of the project to the community.

Why do we need EIA? EIA is

essentially a planning tool for preventing environmental problems due to an action. It seeks to

avoid costly mistakes in

project implementation, either because of the environmental damages that are likely to arise

during project

implementation, or because of modifications that may be required subsequently in order to

make the action

environmentally acceptable. In Malaysia, EIA is required under section 34A, Environmental

Quality Act, 1974.

How to conduct EIA?

To assist you in the preparation of environmental impact assessment reports, you may refer

to "A

Handbook of Environmental Impact Assessment Guidelines" and EIA guidelines for specific

activities published by the

Department of Environment. What are the EIA procedures? The EIA procedure adopted in

Malaysia consists of three

major steps.

The steps in the EIA procedure are as follows:

- Preliminary assessment of all prescribed activities;

- Detailed assessment of those prescribed activities for which significant residual

environmental impacts have been

predicted in the preliminary assessment;

- Review of assessment reports;

What are the steps of the EIA?

Preliminary Assessment

The objectives of Preliminary Assessment for prescribed activities are:

- to examine and select the best from the project options available.

- to identify and incorporate into the project plan appropriate abatement and mitigating

measures.

- to identify significant residual environmental impacts.

A Preliminary Assessment should normally be initiated during the early stages of project

planning. Standard Procedural

Steps are provided and the assessment might be conducted "in house", or by a consultant.

Some form of public

participation is mandatory. Environmental data collection may be necessary and close liaison

between the assessor and

relevant environment related agencies is encouraged. The results of Preliminary Assessment

are reported formally for

examination and approval by the project approving authority and the Director General of

Environmental Quality.

Preliminary Assessment requires resources that are a small proportion of the man-hours,

money, skills and equipment

committed to a pre-feasibility study and the assessment should be completed within the time

frame of that study.

Detailed Assessment

The objectives of Detailed Assessment for prescribed activities with potentially significant

residual

environmental impact include :

- to describe the significant residual environmental impacts predicted from the final project

plan;

- to specify mitigating and abatement measures in the final project plan; and

- to identify the environmental costs and benefits of the project to the community.

Detailed Assessment should continue during project planning until the project plan is finalised.

Standard procedural steps

are provided and specific terms of reference based on the results of Preliminary Assessment

are issued for each project.

The Assessment might be conducted "in house" or by a consultant. The assessment method

is selected according to the

nature of the project; some form of public participation is required. Environmental data

collection is almost certainly

necessary. The results of Detailed Assessment is reported formally.

The EIA Review Process The objectives of Review for Prescribed Activities subjected to

Detailed Assessment

include: 1. to critically review the Detailed Assessment reports; 2. to evaluate development

and environmental costs

and benefits of the final project plan; and 3. to formulate recommendations and guidelines to

the project approving

authority relevant to the implementation of the project.

Review of EIA Reports is carried out internally by the DOE with the assistance from the

relevant technical agencies for

preliminary assessment reports and by an ad hoc Review Panel for detailed assessment

reports. Recommendations

arising out of the review are transmitted to the relevant project approving authorities for

consideration in making a

decision on the project. According to the DOE's Client Charter, the period allocated for a

review of a term of reference

(TOR) and EIA report are as follows: Preliminary EIA Report - 5 weeks

Terms of Reference (TOR) for the preparation of Detailed EIA Report - 4 weeks Detailed EIA

Report - 12 weeks

The DOE maintains a list of experts who may be called upon to sit as members of any Review

Panel established. The

selection of the experts depends on the areas of environmental impacts to be reviewed.
