dangerous radioactive materials
OVERVIEW OF ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT ASSESSMENT SYSTEM
Evironmentally Critical Projects are
projects or industries that have critical
environmental impacts and therefore need
to undergo Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA)System and (EIS) prior
to implementation.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT(EIA)SYSTEM
Proclaims certain areas and types of projects as environmentally
critical & w/in this scope EIA established under presidential decree
no.1586.

DEFINITION
EIA SYSTEM-is a systematic process to identify ,predict and evaluate the
environmental effects of proposed projects in order to aid decision making
reagarding the significant environmental consequences of projects
developments and programmes.

PURPOSE:
To identify the environmental issues and highlight those issues for consideration
and incorporation by the decision makers vested with legal authority and technical
skills such as land used planning, water resources management, forestry, fisheries
and geosciences share on the task of supervising and addressing environment
concerns.

EIA in the context of the Philippines
Environmental Impact
Statement(EIS)System
The emphasis ,compared with many other mechanism for
environmental protection is on PREVENTION.
>The process of predicting the likely
environmental consequences of
implementing a project and
designing appropriate preventive
mitigating and enhancement
measures as an
input to decision making
