Discussion
Identify the correct statement :
Answer: A
The correct statement is that public hearing is conducted before environmental clearance of the project.
Under India's EIA Notification, 2006, the stages are screening, scoping (when the Terms of Reference are fixed), public consultation, and appraisal, after which clearance is granted or refused. The public hearing, organised by the State Pollution Control Board, is part of public consultation and is held on the draft EIA report, so it always precedes the clearance decision.
It is not held before the EIA: the draft EIA must exist first for people to comment on it. It does not come before site selection, which the proponent proposes at the outset, or before the Terms of Reference, which are approved at the scoping stage.
