ABSTRACT
Every phase of a project, including planning, investigation, building, demilitarisation, and beyond site closures, has been covered by Environmental Impact Assessment. It focuses on looking at environmental effects early in the planning and design process of the project. It serves as an environmental assessment of a plan, strategy, program, or real project before the choice to move forward with the suggested actions is made. It methodically examines the project's positive and negative effects and confirms that these additional effects need to be taken into consideration. “Additionally, it helps analyse the most practical approach to mitigate the project's environmental effects, suggests ways to lessen those effects, and then projects whether there will still be significant negative environmental effects even after the mitigation is put into place.”1 Because of its uniqueness, EIA rarely needs to adhere to predetermined environmental outcomes. When EIAs are handled properly, they also lessen conflict by valuing decision- makers, promoting community involvement, etc.
