Which component of EIA is significant throughout life-cycle of a project ?

  • A.Impact identification
  • B.Baseline studies
  • C.Impact prediction
  • D.Impact evaluation

Answer: B

The key gives baseline studies.

Baseline studies record the existing state of air, water, soil, ecology and socio-economic conditions before a project starts. That record is used at every stage: to predict and evaluate impacts during the EIA, to set conditions in the clearance, and later, in construction, operation and decommissioning, as the reference against which monitoring measures change.

Impact identification, prediction and evaluation are steps carried out mainly within the assessment itself, before a decision on the project, so they do not run through the whole life cycle in the same way.
