Discussion
Which of the following is the correct order of EIA steps ?
Answer: B
The correct order is Screening, Scoping, Impact Identification, Impact Prediction, Mitigation, EIS, EA.
Screening decides whether a project needs an EIA. Scoping identifies the key issues. Impacts are then identified, predicted in magnitude, and mitigation measures designed. The findings are written up in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), which is then appraised (EA) before a decision is taken.
The other orders put screening and scoping later or reverse identification and prediction, which cannot work: impacts must be identified before they can be predicted, and screening must come first to decide whether an EIA is needed at all.
