Synopsis The book has been designed to cover the whole gamut of issues like regulatory requirements, the EIA methodology including baseline studies, identification of key issues and consideration of alternatives, impact analysis and remedial measures in a systematic way. To make the book comprehensive and self-contained, information pertaining to legislative regime, base line data generation and monitoring, thumb rules for pollution control measures etc. have been annexed to the main text. Some of the impacts of the proposed development are of little significance to the decision making process. Hence a brief reference has been made to "Scoping". A section on risk assessment and hazard analysis also has been included. It is hoped that students, research scholars and regulatory authorities will find this book useful.
