Environmental Impact Assessment: Identifying the Environmental Effects of a Project

Assess the potential environmental impact of a proposed construction project on the local natural environment.

The heavy usage of machinery and fossil fuels required in industrialization leads to high amounts of carbon emissions. The mass amount of raw materials used in each industry accumulates and

Firstly, the impacts on the economy outlines the organization’s use of natural resources in its everyday operations to create value that will lead to satisfying the needs of customers’ needs as well as achieving the organizational goals.

This paper include analyse of main environmental issues, such as: impact on agriculture, forestry and soils; air quality; climate, community, cultural heritage, ecology, land quality, visual effects, noise/vibration, waste material resources and water resources/ flood risk.

Severity of Impact – The severity of the impact is considered medium. If user application performance is negatively affected, the users will not be able to meet their daily expected workload. In other words, users will not be able to complete their assigned tasks timely.

Produce an environmental audit, and report assessing the potential environmental impact of the proposed project on the local Natural Environment.

Social Impact Analysis is an assessment of the social effects of projects, construction, and disaster preparedness. This was a manual that gave insight on how to conduct SIA, information that affects SIA and how various different issue affect populations. Social Impact Assessment (week 15) Social impact assessments (SIA) are used to identify the impact of projects, programs, epidemics or natural disasters. SIA are important in determining the impact these events may have on specific populations.

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) play an essential role for sustainability establishing. As Anzecc (1991) mentioned that EIA producers would take a responsibility for issues like improving the efficiency of the contribution made by making sustainability and environmentally decision, which means the government responsible for EIA process which have the power to recommend environmental conditions.

This article focused on two approaches of SIA (Social impact assessment) which are technical approach and the political approach and the integration of both these approaches in impact assessment. Technical approach aims at providing relevant data and positivism in order to provide an assessment of how the system will change. Political

Business impact analysis is the process of systematically addressing all of the risks associated with a solution and identifying if it actually worked.

The simple formula of multiplying threats by your asset and dividing that total by mitigating factors represents an impact analysis. Threats are those instances that cause an operational or financial strain on your organization. These occurrences are the cause of limited operations during business hours or no operations at all and computed in time. Assets are defined as many elements, but are primarily composed of “physical assets (equipment, material, supplies, furnishings, etc.) that are owned by

Secondary impacts are linked to the project, though not directly caused by them, they are facilitated by them. These impacts are difficult to measure but they are important (Raiter et al., 2014).
