Résumé

These Regulations provide for procedures and requirements for compulsory project briefs and environment impact assessment and environment impact assessment statements. Part II is dedicated to project briefs. A project brief is a report on "preliminary preconditions" of possible impact of a project included in the list of the First Schedule on the environment and as such the first step of EIA. The Environment Council may require also projects briefs for projected not listed in the First Schedule. The brief shall be drawn up in accordance with requirements of regulation 4 and be submitted to the Council which shall review the brief and, when approving of it, send a decision letter to the authorizing agency (defined in regulation 2) (regs. 4-6). Where the Council decides that a project is likely to have a significant impact on the environment, it shall require an EIA to be prepared in accordance with these Regulations. The Second Schedule sets out those projects for which an EIA may be required. The developer of a project shall consult with local communities prior to submission of an EIA statement (reg. 10). Contents of the statement are outlined in regulation 11. The statement includes an impact management plan containing a description of measures proposed for preventing, minimising, or compensating for any adverse impact, and enhancing beneficial effects, and measures to monitor pollution. Part IV contains rules for the review of EIA Statements by the Council. The Council shall organize public hearings and hold consultations in accordance with regulations 16 to 19). Part VII provides for post-assessment environmental audits by persons qualified by the Council. (38 regulations divided into 10 Parts and completed by 5 Schedules)
