Three Major Concerns of Environmental Impact Assessment Bodies

Blog

The environmental impact assessment bodies are in place to make sure that before a construction or industrial project is erected, they have assessed all the impact it will have on the environment. Whether you want to build a home or start a company, you will need permits and approvals from environmental impact assessment bodies. Failure to follow process leads to complications later in the project or denial of building permits. Before approaching the authorities for an environmental impact assessment, it is good to understand what the process entails. Here are the three main concerns when conducting an environmental impact assessment:

Land Management

The zoning laws are in existence to make sure that there is a proper balance between natural land and urban sprawl. Uncontrolled development of urban centres would lead to less natural land, which would have a very negative impact on the environment. The laws aim to ensure that all buildings that are set up in specific locations bring the least level of environmental damage to the place. They also exist to make sure that there is no mix between residential and industrial establishments, which would lead to pollution hazards. 

Proper Waste Disposal

All types of construction are expected to create some level of environmental pollution. When getting an assessment, the experts will be checking to see whether you have measures in place to properly manage all waste which will come from your business. To have an easy time dealing with this waste management aspect, you need to understand how waste is classified, and plan on how you will collect, transport and dispose of the garbage. You should also have an actionable plan on how you will recycle all the recyclable waste.

Water Management

Another crucial component of environmental impact management is water management and pollution. This comes in handy, especially when you are setting up an industry. Before you can get a permit, you will need to prove to the authorities that you have a solid waste disposal system, and that the waste will not reach or interfere with either the water table or groundwater in rivers and streams. 

Other aspects of environmental impact assessments include the amount of noise pollution you are likely to create, and whether your project will lead to overpopulation. Take time and go through the local rules and regulations about environmental impact assessments. Consult your contractors and ensure that your plan incorporates all these regulations to get fast approval.
