Which is the correct sequence for impact assessment process in EIA ?

  • A.Description of Environment → Identification of impacts → Prediction of impacts → Evaluation of impacts → Identification of mitigation needs.
  • B.Identification of impacts → Prediction of impacts → Evaluation of impacts →Identification of mitigation needs.
  • C.Identification of impacts → Description of Environment → Prediction of impacts → Evaluation of impacts → Identification of mitigation needs.
  • D.Prediction of impacts → Identification of impacts → Description of environment → Evaluation of impacts → Identification of mitigation needs.

Answer: A

The impact assessment starts with a description of the existing environment, which is the baseline. Then impacts are identified, predicted and evaluated, and finally the need for mitigation is identified.

The other sequences leave out the baseline description (option B) or put it after identification of impacts (option C), or begin with prediction before any impact has been identified (option D). The baseline has to come first, so the answer is option A.
