Environmental Impact Assessment
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process of examining the environmental effects of a development.
An independent environmental impact assessment consultant has an important role to play in preparing environmental documents for environmental authorities and the public. The EIA document aims to: provide the applicant, business and industry, NGOs, the public, labour organisations and the authorities on national, provincial or local government level with a uniform basis for implementing sections 21, 22 and 26 of the Environment Conservation Act, 1989; provide background information regarding the legislation controlling environmentally harmful activities; assist applicants with the preparation, completion and submission of applications and required environmental and report(s); and assist authorities in determining their roles and responsibilities as decision-makers.
