The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a critical examination of the effects of a project on the environment. An EIA identifies both negative and positive impacts of any development activity or project, how it affects people, their property and the environment. EIA also identifies measures to mitigate the negative impacts while maximizing positive ones. It is basically a preventive process, which seeks to minimize adverse impacts on the environment and reduces risks. If properly conducted, then the safety of the environment can be properly managed at all stages of a project cycle- planning, design, construction, operation/ implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as decommissioning.
Environmental Impact Assessment Guidelines

- To identify impacts of a project on the environment;
- To predict the likely changes on the environment as a result of the development;
- To evaluate the impacts of the various alternatives on the project (including a no project alternative);
- To propose mitigation measures for the significant negative impacts of the project on the environment
