Environmental Impact Assessment: Practical Solutions to Recurrent Problems Summary
| Take the EIA challenge: Eight scenarios show you how to design and implement more effective EIA processes When a proposed action threatens the physical, biological, social, or economic environment, a thorough assessment is done and measures are identified to prevent and offset the adverse environmental impacts. This practice is called an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which has regularly been treated, studied, and practiced as a singular process . . . until now. Environmental Impact Assessment challenges the deep-rooted assumption that EIA should be structured around a unitary assessment process. In this groundbreaking new book, author David Lawrence addresses eight recurrent problems in EIA practice, describes and assesses residual problems, and provides details to solve these persistent problems. Developed to help you cope with the many competing demands and recurrent problems encountered in your day-to-day work, Environmental Impact Assessment: Discusses conventional choices for controlling and shaping the EIA processShows how each problem-reducing process would operate at the regulatory level as well as at the applied levelAddresses how well each process satisfies ideal EIA process characteristicsOffers summary overviews after each analysisDemonstrates links between the conceptual analysis and practice examplesExamines how to link and combine EIA processes to operate in situations with multiple, overlapping problemsCompares requirements in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia |
