Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an important management tool for ensuring optimal use of nature resource for sustainable development. To facilitate project proponents in collection of environmental data, guidelines have been evolved and made available. EIA is now mandatory under Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 for 29 categories of developmental activities involving investment beyond certain thresholds.
The EIA Notification of 27th January 1994 has been amended on 10th April, 1997. By this amendment public hearing is mandatory for all the 29 categories of activities which require environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. the public hearing will be conducted by the State Pollution Control Boards on the basis of information made available to them by the project authorities after giving due notice to the public. The public will also have access to the documents. The public hearing panel will consist of representative of State Pollution Control Board, State Government, District Collector, Local Bodies apart from three Senior Citizens of the area to be nominated by the District Collector. The details of public hearing will be made available of Ministry of Environment and Forests which will appraise the project thereafter.
With a view to ensuring multi-disciplinary inputs required for environmental appraisal of Development Projects, Expert Committees have been constituted for the following sectors:-
Once an application for environmental clearance is received from a project proponent, along with requisite documents specified in the EIA Notification, the proposal is scrutinized by the technical staff of the Ministry prior to placing it before the Expert Committees. The Committees evaluate the environmental impacts of the project based on the data furnished by the projects of the project based on the data furnished by the project proponent and wherever necessary, site visits and independent assessment of environmental aspects are also undertaken. based on such examination, the Committees make recommendations for approval or rejection of the proposal, which are then proceed in the Ministry for approval or rejection.
In case of site specific projects such as mining, river valley, ports and harbours etc., a 2-stage clearance produce has been adopted whereby the project proponents have to obtain site clearance before applying for environmental clearance of the project. This is to ensure that the ecologically fragile and environmentally sensitive areas are avoided while locate projects. In case of projects which are submitted with require documentation, a decision is taken within 90 days.
During the period January -June 1997, 68 projects have been accorded environmental clearance subject to terms and conditions stipulated for each of the project in the memorandum communicating the clearance of the Ministry to the proponents. A breakdown of the clearance, sector wise, is given below:
The Ministry of Environment and Forests has, by its notification dated 10th April, 1997 empowered the State Government to accord environmental clearance to:
The State Government will follow the same prouder as being followed in the Central Government with regard to environmental appraisal of such power projects after conducting public hearing.
