Tools and Processes for Environmental Impact Prediction in the Philippines:Using Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Tools and Processes for Environmental Impact Prediction in the Philippines: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Introduction: In the context of implementing projects, particularly those involving the establishment of Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) in the Philippines, the utilization of robust tools and systematic processes for environmental impact prediction is essential. This report focuses on the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process, detailing its components and the tools employed in the prediction of potential environmental effects. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Process: The EIA process in the Philippines involves a systematic evaluation of potential environmental effects. It comprises several key stages: Screening: Objective: To identify projects that may have significant environmental impacts. Implementation: Conducting initial assessments to determine the need for a comprehensive EIA. Scoping: Objective: To define the scope and focus of the EIA stud
