In the investment planning process, it is very important to take into account the impact it will have on the environment. To properly assess this factor, a professional environmental impact report should be prepared. What is it, what does it contain and why is it worth commissioning r2eko to prepare it?
What is an environmental impact assessment report?
An environmental impact assessment report is a document that includes a description of a planned project, a description of the natural environment in the affected area, and an analysis of the project’s impact on the environment. Why is it necessary?
The environmental impact assessment report is submitted as part of the application for a decision on the environmental conditions for projects that may significantly affect the environment. The issuance of such a decision involves public participation in the environmental impact assessment process. Therefore, preparing the report is a crucial step in planning various types of investments.
What does the environmental impact assessment report contain?
The environmental impact assessment report includes detailed data describing the area where the project is to be implemented and its surroundings. It takes into account all elements of the natural environment, especially those legally protected, and provides information on the project’s impact on the environment, both during the construction and operational phases.
In a well-prepared report, various project implementation options should be presented and their environmental impact compared. It should also consider the option of not undertaking the project. Additionally, the report must provide a detailed description of the compensation for negative impacts on the environment.
When is an environmental impact assessment report required?
An environmental impact assessment report is required in cases where circumstances specified by law are met. The obligation to prepare the report primarily applies to projects that may significantly impact the environment and situations where the project could substantially affect Natura 2000 areas.
In such cases, having the report prepared by specialists helps ensure its compliance with the law. A professionally conducted assessment can protect you from potential sanctions related to the negative impact of the planned project on the environment. Addressing environmental aspects can also have a positive impact on your company’s reputation.
Who can prepare an environmental impact report?
According to the law, the author of an environmental impact assessment report must be an individual with appropriate competencies and education in the following fields:
- Chemical sciences,
- Biological sciences and Earth sciences,
- Technical sciences in the disciplines of biotechnology, mining and engineering geology, environmental engineering,
- Agricultural, forestry, and veterinary sciences.
However, these are not the only statutory requirements. It is necessary for the person preparing such a document to have at least 3 years of experience working in teams of authors preparing environmental impact assessment reports or to have been a member of such teams at least five times. Therefore, the individual must be a professional with relevant experience. Such individuals can be found at r2eko.
