Environmental impact assessment is a process that in case of mining, it starts with an initial environmental scoping and ends with post operation monitoring. The environmental impact assessment study is only one part of the environmental assessment applied in the various stages of the mining cycle. a. Why is it important to continue the EIA process beyond the decision for those projects which proceed to implementation? b. The enhancement of beneficial impacts has had a low profile in EIA until recently. Why do you think this has been so and why is the situation now changing? c. Discuss any three reasons why climate change has not been well covered in many EIA? d. Do you think it is practical that all EIAs should consider the "no action" alternative? Discuss why or why not interms of the following aspects i. Different location ii. Different scales iii. Different designs
