Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study aims at identifying, predicting and evaluating potential environmental impacts of a proposed project. The study also includes suggesting mitigative measures in the form of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to alleviate identified adverse environmental impacts. The study interalia includes carrying out Risk Analysis (RA) and preparation of On-site Disaster Management Plan (DMP).<BR>EIA is used as one of the decision-making tools by the regulatory authorities to accord environmental clearance for proposed projects. In India, under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and rules made thereunder, an EIA study is required to be carried out mandatorily for expansion / modernisation of existing facilities as well as proposed new facilities of selected industrial sectors or projects for the purpose of obtaining environmental clearance.

Environmental Audit (EA) is a systematic, documented verification process of obtaining and evaluating evidence to determine whether the specified environmental management practices / performances or related matters conform with the audit criteria. Scope of the EA also includes recommending improvements to the existing practices to yield better environmental performance.
