Public hearing is conducted :

  • A.Prior to site selection
  • B.Prior to approval of terms of reference
  • C.After environmental clearance
  • D.After preparation of Draft EIA

Answer: D

The public hearing is conducted after preparation of the draft EIA.

Under the EIA Notification of 2006, the project proponent first prepares a draft EIA report according to the approved terms of reference. The State Pollution Control Board then holds a public hearing near the site, where local people can comment on the draft, and the final EIA report must address the concerns raised before the project is appraised.

The hearing therefore comes after the terms of reference are fixed and the draft is ready, but before environmental clearance, not before site selection or after clearance.
