1979

EIA for river valley projects were carried out later extending to industrial projects

Enactment of Environment (Protection) Act 1986

Notification on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of developmental projects1994

Application Form and Questionnaire for Environmental Clearance was published 1999

Revised Notification on EC process and identification of 36 specific sector2006

Page 6: Environmental clearance of airports

Statuary RegulationsEnvironmental Impact Notification S.O.1533 (E), dt.14th September 2006,as amended 2009, issued under Environment (Protection) Act 1986, has made it mandatory to obtain environmental clearance for scheduled development projects.

The notification has classified projects under two categories 'A' & 'B'.

Category A- projects (including expansion and modernization of existing projects) require clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Govt. of India (GoI)

Category B- from State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), constitutedby Government of India.

All airport projects are categorized under Category A in the Schedule, including expansion andmodernization of existing projects or activities, shall require prior environmental clearance fromthe MoEF on the recommendations of an EAC to be constituted by the Central Government forthe purposes of this notification

Stages of EC processThe environmental clearance process for new projects will comprise of a maximum of three stages.

Stage 1-Scoping

Stage 2 - Public consultation

Stage 3 – Appraisal

Stages of EC processStage 1-Scoping

Scoping' refers to the process by which the EAC in the case of Category 'A' projects or activities,including applications for expansion and/or modernization, determine detailed andcomprehensive TOR addressing all relevant environmental concerns for the preparation of anEIA report in respect of the project or activity for which prior environmental clearance is sought.The EAC concerned should determine the ToR on the basis of information furnished in theprescribed application Form 1 including ToR proposed by the applicant, a site visit by a sub-group of EAC concerned only if considered necessary by the EAC concerned and otherinformation that may be available with the EAC concerned.

• EIA is a planning tool that is now generally accepted as an integralcomponent of sound decision-making.

• The objective of EIA is to foresee and address potential environmentalproblems/concerns at an early stage of project planning and design.

• EIA/EMP should assist planners and government authorities in thedecision making process by identifying the key impacts/issues andformulating mitigation measures.

• Ministry had issued sectoral guidelines some time ago.• A compendium of the procedures and questionnaires entitled�Application Form and Questionnaire for Environmental Clearance waspublished in September, 1999 in association with the Confederation ofIndian Industry

g1. Introduction

General

•Purpose of the project, goals and objectives of the proposed project

• Overall suitability of the site and the proposed activity in light of the existingenvironmental acts and serious deviations, if any.

• Significance of the project both at local and national level including backgroundinformation and overall scenario of the proposed activity in the Indian context

• Relevance of the project in light of the existing development plans of the region, projectcoverage, master plan, phasing and scope,

• Estimated cost of development of the project, environmental protection works bothduring construction and operations phase of the project, etc.

• Estimated water budget for the proposed project.

g2. Description of the project

Description of the project should be brief but elaborate enough to assess the impact of the project location on the environment. Therefore these brief details should include:

• The location of the project with longitude, latitude, revenue village, tehsil, district and state• Number of phases for development of Airport based on traffic demand,• Capacity to handle new generation large aircraft,• Sponsors' details,• Envisaged project cost,• Basis of project; BOO or BOT etc.,• Project execution (Private or Joint Venture) (with details under Company Act 1956),• Existing traffic; Domestic, International and Potential,• Airport paved facilities; whether catering for futuristic operation / or existing operation.• Villages, settlements, need for rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) of communities/villages along with present status of such activities• Land acquisition requirement- (present and future) and status,

There is no such guidelines, it should be explored innovatively based on project situations, the idea could be indigenous.

•Improvements in the physical infrastructure by way of addition of project infrastructure,•ancillary industries that may come up on account of the project• Improvements in the other infrastructure like roads, railways, townships, housing, water supply, electrical power, drainage, educational institutions, hospitals, effluent treatmentplants, improved waste disposal systems, improved environmental conditions, etc.• Employment potential -skilled; semi-skilled and unskilled labour both during construction and operational phases of the project with specific attention to employment potential of local population as well as necessity for imparting any specialized skills to them to be eligible for such employment in the project on a long term basis i.e., during operational and maintenance stages of the project and• Other tangible benefits like improved standards of living, health, education etc.

g10. Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

The objective of Environmental Management Plan is to:•Monitor the effectiveness of mitigation measures• Ensure efficient operation of mitigation measures• Establish systems and procedures for this purpose• Take any necessary action when unforeseen impact occur•Components of EMP•The EMP should contain the following :• Summary of potential impact & recommended mitigation measures. •Allocation of resources and responsibilities for plan implementation• Administrative and technical set up for management of environment• Institutional arrangements proposed with other organizations/Govt. authorities•for effective implementation of environmental measures proposed in the EIA• Safe guards/mechanism to continue the assumptions/field conditions made in the EIA• Environmental specifications for contractors should cover the required safeguards during the design and construction stage

g10. Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Environmental Cell

•It is desirable for the proponent to set up a separate environmental cell to oversee implementation of the EMP and evaluate the results of monitoring. Survey and analysis to be carried outperiodically•The Environmental management plan should include:• checking the final design documents to ensure they incorporate the management measures.• Monitoring the construction and interacting with the contractor to ensure an understanding•of compliance with the constraints involved with the Environmental protection or•mitigation measures during construction and,• Following construction, continuous monitoring during project operations to ensure that the project meets its environmental goals, and to initiate needed modifications to the project design or operations for this purpose

Stages of EC processStage 2 - Public consultationPublic consultation" refers to the process by which the concerns of local affected persons andothers who have plausible stake in the environmental impact of the project or activity areascertained with a view to taking into account all the material concerns in the project oractivity design as appropriate.

Methods of Public consultation1- Through news paper2- Public Hearing

After completion of the public consultation, the applicant shall address all the materialenvironmental concerns expressed during this process, and make appropriate changes inthe draft EIA and EMP. The final EIA report, so prepared, shall be submitted by the applicantto the concerned regulatory authority for appraisal. The applicant may alternatively submita supplementary report to draft EIA and EMP addressing all the concerns expressed duringthe public consultation

Page 27: Environmental clearance of airports

Stages of EC processStage 3 – Appraisal

Detailed scrutiny by the EAC of the application and other document like the Final EIA report,outcome of the public consultations including public hearing proceedings, submitted by theapplicant to the regulatory authority concerned for grant of EC

• Discussion Session • Compliance with public consultations outcome.
