Objective: The objective of the Environmental Site Assessment Phase 1 was to identify purpose for which it was conducted. ESA Phase 1 can be executed for various purposes such as identification of specific incident on site, probable areas of environmental obligation, designated substances and for baseline study to development of Phase 2 ESA. [5] 1.2 Scope: Phase 1 ESA must include a historical review, a site examination and interviews with people related with the site as well as controlling bodies
The earliest aerial photograph reviewed for Phase I ESA purposes was taken in 1943. The previous alignment of Highway 101, now called Santa Maria Way (or Business U.S. 101), is bordering the site to the west. An unpaved road had been constructed through the southern portion of the site that appears to be the access road to oil well Holmes No. 1, which is just east of the site, connecting it to Highway 101. The unpaved road through the site is looped with what appears to be four round tanks in
Environmental impact analysis-: Community environmental impact analysis is a systematic process for identifying, describing and evaluating community natural and human resources & makes improvement about their management. The main points which are considered under the environmental impact analysis-: • We have to point out the resources in our community which are affected by the human developments processes. • Find the alternative of the resources & make the course plane to implement it. • Determine
INTRODUCTION An imperative output of the environmental assessment process is Environmental Management Plans (The World Bank, n.d.). Environmental Management Plans are one of the twenty two commonly used tools to be utilised for the process of realising the principles of integrated environmental management, as set forth by the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT (a), 2004). 1.1. Definitions 1.1.1. Environment The National Environmental Management Act (1998) refers to the environment
I. Exploration Determining the location, and the value of the mineral deposits, is done via the on-site investigation (surveys, field studies, and boreholes) of local geology [2]. A. Environmental Issues Although it seems harmless enough, the exploration phase may involve some environmental impacts, such as: Clearing vegetation (Allows room for vehicles and drilling rigs), soil and groundwater contamination (From contaminated boreholes). B. Environmental Law The exploration phase falls under the
public participation for environmental decision making. Public participation around the world has been part of a wide range of environmental applications (Luyet, Schlaepfer, Parlange and Buttler, 2012). Public participation is a fundamental component of the environmental impact assessment process. EIA is not seen to be whole without public consultation and participation (Hartley and Wood, 2005). DEA & DP, 2011 states that the general objectives of integrated environmental management as described in
Environmental impact assessment (EIA) entails a multifaceted appraisement of the possible aftermath caused by a project or action on the surrounding man-made and natural environment (Wood, 2003). This systematic process requires the involvement of all interested stakeholders in the process and the public, in order to achieve a widespread consent on the planned project and mitigation strategies proposed [European Commission (EC), 2014]. EIA was firstly presented in the United States (US) in 1969 under

a Feasibility assessment on the abandon Ward Hill quarry located in Rothbury Northumberland. The purpose is to ascertain the viability of re-opening the quarry after so many years based on the quantity and quality of the remaining dolerite deposit. This report also quantify the deposit, considered the mineralogy and quality of the deposit, provides suitable extraction techniques and the possible requirements for the exploitation and overall assessment of the potential environmental impacts of re-opening
Environmental Impact of Tourism on Antarctica This essay discusses the environmental impact of tourism on Antarctica. The subheading Description will give an overview of the continent, highlight the unique landscape, weather patterns and research stations making up some of the tourist attractions of this continent. The subheading Tourism in Antarctica gives an account of the type of tourist Antarctica attracts and their primary motive identifying scientific research staff as tourists as well
community or society and causes human, material, and economic or environmental losses that go beyond the community’s or society’s capability to manage with its own resources. However, it often caused by nature, or human origins (IFRC, 2015). Disaster happens in several ways such as floods, explosions, wind, and extreme range of environmental temperatures, fire, epidemics, multiple car crashes with many casualties, school shootings, and environmental contamination from chemical agents and/or bioterrorism (Maurer
EU legislation i. Habitats Directive has been often criticised to obstruct large-scale renewable infrastructure. We are opposed to this idea as we consider the EU Birds and Habitat Directives to present a transparent and robust legal framework for renewables deployment. It is primordial that for each sustainable development, environmental impacts regarding the technology design and the location considered should be initially assessed to provide that the impacts on Natura2000 sites could be limited

Memphis and its Necropolis—the Pyramid Fields from Giza to Dahshur Through this research paper, I will explore Memphis and its necropolis- the Pyramids Fields from Giza to Dahsur, for its significance in world heritage. According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, better known as UNESCO, Memephis and its Necropolis is a site that is part of the UNESCO’s World Heritage list. Overview of Memphis and its Necropolis—the Pyramids Fields from Giza to Dashur: The Pyramids
Executive Summary Summary and Conclusions The proposed 3M mining project would provide measurable benefits to the Shasta County economy. It would also provide much needed revenue to Shasta County, as well as its incorporated cities, and schools. Economic activity would be enhanced through expenditures for construction, maintenance, fees, taxes, capital expenditures, and general day to day operations. Spending by the mine during construction will give a large one time boost to the Shasta County

The National Response Plan The National Response Framework is a guide designed to assist local, State, and Federal governments in developing functional capabilities and identifying resources based on hazard identification and risk assessment. It outlines the operating structure and identifies key roles and responsibilities. It established a framework to identify capabilities based on resources and the current situation no matter the size or scale. It integrates organizational structures and standardizes
disaster was natural which resulted from the stretch of the fault separating the plates of South America and Nazca. The pressure that built between the plates also facilitated the occurrence of the disaster. 2. Short Term Effects a. Short-term environmental effects According to Karev (2016),
Introduction and Background to the problem With the alarming growth in the energy costs and environmental concern in construction projects there is a continuous demand for sustainable buildings. LEED® evaluates the sustainable performance through a 69-point credit system which mainly emphasizes Indoor environmental quality, energy and atmosphere, sustainable sites, water efficiency, materials and resources and innovation in design (Azhar, Carlton, Olsen and Ahmad (2011)).
