Tools of environmental management

Thus EnTA helps planners, decision makers in government, the private sector, communities and other stakeholders, to reach a consensus on the technology intervention that is expected to be the most environmentally sound, socially acceptable and economically viable, for a specified location and application.

Design and Approval Stage The phase of policy making, planning and project design and approval when the specific details of the proposed activity, including the desired end results, are developed and described, taking into account the objectives, stakeholder views, regulatory and other requirements and best practices in design and implementation.

Environmental Impact Assessment EIA A structured procedure designed to help ensure that development and investment proposals, activities, projects and programmes are environmentally sound and sustainable. EIA facilitates identification, analysis and evaluation of the significance of the potential environmental impacts and the identification and elaboration of measures that will avoid, remedy or mitigate any adverse impacts.

It allows informed decision making as to whether a proposal should proceed and, if so, under what conditions. It also establishes a monitoring and environmental management regime for implementing mitigation measures, monitoring impacts for compliance and ascertaining if impacts are as predicted. Social Impact Asessment SIA If there is a need for a more comprehensive, in depth and rigorous determination of the impacts a given policy, plan, programme, project, activity or action may have on the social aspects of the environment, SIA is an appropriate tool.

A basic part of SIA is to analyze who wins and who loses with each alternative considered, and to determine whether an alternative may have high and disproportionate adverse environmental or health effects on a low-income population or a minority population. Impact equity must be considered in close and sympathetic consultation with affected communities, neighbourhoods, and groups, especially low-income and minority groups.

Environmental Risk Assessment ERA All decisions and actions have environmental consequences, many of which are unintended.

Thus no part of existence is risk free. Risk is the likelihood that a harmful consequence will occur as a result of an action. EnRA determines the potential impact of a chemical or physical agent on ecosystems, habitats and other ecological resources, and on human health and well being.

The assessment can be either qualitative or semi-quantitative. Two further steps are integral to risk assessment, namely risk management and risk communication.

The use of EnRA in environmental planning and management is fast becoming a standard practice, either as a stand alone procedure or as a support or complement to an EIA.
