To this end, all projects, both private and public, which are likely to have a significant impact on the surrounding environment shall be subject to a previous environmental impact assessment. Such procedure is intended to determine, describe and valuate, as appropriate, the direct and indirect effects of a specific project over the following factors: (1) human beings, fauna and flora; (2) soil, water, air, climate and landscape; (3) cultural resources. Annexes 1 and 2 to the Act define the different projects to which the EIA shall be applied. Under certain circumstances, however, the Provincial Council may exempt particular projects from the EIA. The decision-making power pertains to the Provincial Council, which is entitled to determine, upon advice formulated by the EIA Committee, whether a certain project is compatible or not with the environment. The decision shall be published on the Official Bulletin of the Autonomous Region of Trentino-Alto Adige. Article 12 sets up the above-mentioned EIA Committee.
