What is Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)?

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) is the work to be continued in the determination of all the negative environmental effects of the projects planned to be implemented, in the determination and evaluation of the measures to be taken to prevent or minimize them in a way that will not harm the environment, the selected location and technology alternatives, and the monitoring and control of the implementation of the projects.

All parties related to the activities planned in the environmental impact assessment come together to evaluate their opinions and suggestions, and transparent decisions are taken. Before starting the activity, the foreseen problems are tried to be solved, thus preventing cost loss.

Which Businesses Are Evaluated Within the Scope of EIA?
