3.A multi-million-dollar power plant project to provide power supply for  remote communities by GRIDco was stopped by the Environmental  Protection agency (EPA) citing violation of the EPA’s protocols. The EPA  argues that GRIDco did not conduct environmental impact assessment (EIA)  on the project within the community it is located and therefore if the project  is allowed to continue, it will pose public health risk to the inhabitants within  the catchment area. (a) Why is it necessary to conduct EIA on such an important project? And  what will be the expected outcome of the impact assessment?
