An overview on Assessment of Impact on Environment
The cost to carry out the Environmental Impact Assessment may be truly significant part of
planning as well as designing of cost of development project. Disreputably, cost or the rates
of Environmental Impact Assessment In Sri Lanka are quite difficult to simply predict at
outset of project.
It is complete uncertainty and which is because of initial absence of knowledge and
understanding about environmental conditions of baseline about the site of development.
With the progress of project, site knowledge enhances gradually and also new costs might
emerge though reducing the risks. Specifically, in current climate, there is not any
requirement to have clear understanding about costs and risks of environmental and Traffic
Impact Assessment at early stage during the project.
The initial step for effective cost management is to simply carry out the complete study of
EIA scoping. Moreover, outcome of EIA scoping study must be even clear understanding
about basic site features and likely risks and sensitivities of the environment. It must even
provide clear program about how to address different issues which are well identified in
further assessment of environmental impact.
Following the carefully undertaken study of EIA scoping, uncertainties still is same. Such
specific uncertainties are though much easily manageable. For example, during EIA scoping
study and Traffic Impact Assessment Consultants it was mainly identified that no
significant archaeological features are recorded in wider area all around the site. The next
step which is well proposed is mainly carried out a survey of geophysical site. According to
the outcome of survey done for Solid Waste Management In Sri Lanka there might even be a
requirement for simply carrying out the intrusive investigation in an excavation form.
