Скачать или смотреть Why is Environmental Clearance required? | Environment Clearance | Corpbiz

As the planet faces climate change and other #environmental issues, we cannot put our planet at stake for our own interests. So the government has taken a step forward to minimize and mitigate the issues related to the proposed or existing project. Then the project proponent can implement the mitigation measures in the report to avoid risk and damage to human health and personal property.

EC has been made compulsory under Environment Protection Act 1986.
The laws and regulations applicable at the time of environmental #Clearance. These include
• The Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, amended in 1991
• The Environmental (Protection) Rules, 1986
• EIA Notification, 2006
• Forest Clearance as per Forest (Conservation) Act 1980
• Wildlife Clearance (NBWL) as per Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972
• CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zone) Rules.

The Importance of EC Certification for the identified sectors

• Environmental Clearance is required in almost 39 sectors for the execution and operation of their projects. With the certificate, one can proceed with the project, if the EC is required,
• EC is a certificate which is mandated certification as per the Pollution control system for the sound management of Environmental impacts.

The Benefits of Environmental Clearance in a proposed/existing project is to know the details of the project and what risk factors are involved that may damage the ecosystem. It helps to run the project in an eco-friendly manner and mitigate its associated risk. Other benefits include.
To Improve environmental performance
• Enhanced Compliance
• Pollution prevention
• Resource conservation
• New customers/markets
• Increased efficiency/reduced cost
• Enhanced employees safety.
• Enhanced image with the public, regulators, lenders and investors
• Employee's awareness of environmental issues and responsibilities

What are the types of assessment involved in environmental Clearance.

Environmental Impact Assessment

• UNEP (United Nation Environment Programme) defines Environmental Impact Assessment as a tool used to identify a project's environmental, social and economic impacts before decision-making.
• It aims to predict environmental impacts early in project planning and design, find ways to reduce the harmful impacts, shape the projects to suit the nearby environment, and present the predictions and options to decision-makers.
• The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) notified EIA legislation in September 2006.

Social Impact Assessment

• It is a process for identifying, analysing, assessing, managing and monitoring a project's potential positive and negative impacts.

EMP stands for (Environmental Management Plan)

• It consists of the mitigation, monitoring, and institutional measures to be taken in the starting phase of the project or in its operational phase to eliminate the risk and adverse environmental and social impacts to reduce the risk or to eliminate it.

Assessment needed during EC is Risk Assessment

What is risk assessment?

• Risk Assessment identifies and assesses the risks to the people participating in the project and the public living nearby the project area. It helps to identify and mitigate risks by finding alternatives.

NOCs required pre-approval of EC are:

• Forest Clearance as per Forest (Conservation) Act 1980
• Wildlife Clearance (NBWL) as per Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972
• CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zone) Clearance as per issued notification 2011
• Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) NOC
• Fire NOC
• Forest Certificate showing the distance from the project boundary
• Airport NOC from AAI for height clearance surrounding the airport
• Clearance from NHAI

Permissions required post approval of EC:

• CTE (Consent to Establishment)
• CTO (Consent to Operate)
• Certified half-yearly EC Compliance by RO/IRO
• Green building certification (Voluntary)
