Objective of the STANDARD TERMS of REFERENCE (TOR). The Environmental Clearance under the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

5 Notification, 2006 is a process which comprises of four stages viz. Stage (1) Screening (Only for Category 'B' projects and activities); Stage (2) Scoping; Stage (3) Public Consultation; and Stage (4) Appraisal. The TERMS of REFERENCE is prescribed for Project seeking Environmental Clearance (EC) under the provision of the Environment Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 (except for project under item No. 8-a). The TERMS of REFERENCE issued after approval of the Ministry/SEIAA is based on the recommendation of the Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC). / State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC). There has been persistent demand of the industry and user agencies that the TOR for all the sectors requiring EC should be standardized as determining TOR for every case individually is time consuming and after arbitrary. The standardization of TOR is a major step forward in rationalizing the process of Environmental Clearances.

6 This will reduce delays, remove arbitrariness and make the system transparent. The STANDARD TOR have been developed by the help of inputs from experts and have been recommended by the EACs of the respective sectors. Standardization of the TOR will enable the Project Proponent to commence the EIA study after successful online registration. The EAC/SEAC will have the right and the responsibility of stipulating additional TOR. in specific Projects considering its project features within 30 days of the online registration of the proposals. All the proposals would have to be placed by the concerned Member Secretary before the EAC/SEAC in the first meeting immediately on registration. This procedure would apply to all proposals pending for TOR and the 30 days would commence from the day the STANDARD TOR are notified. The STANDARD TERMS of REFERENCE has been prepared for guiding the Project Proponent on preparation of EIA / EMP Report and expediting the process of Environmental Clearance without compromising environmental norms and the rigor of environment impact assessment.

7 **. 1. STANDARD TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FOR EIA/EMP REPORT FOR PROJECTS/. ACTIVITIES REQUIRING ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE. INTRODUCTION. CONCEPTUAL FACETS OF ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has notified the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification, 2006 under the provisions of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, which regulates development and their expansion/modernization of 39 sectors/activities listed in the Schedule to the EIA Notification, 2006. There are two Category of the projects viz. Category 'A' projects are handled at the level of MoEF&CC and the Category 'B' projects are handled by the respective State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) following the procedure prescribed under the EIA. Notification, 2006. As per "General Condition" under the EIA notification, 2006, "Any project or activity specified in Category 'B' is treated as Category 'A', if located in whole or in part within 5 km from the boundary of: (i).

8 Protected Areas notified under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, (ii) Critically Polluted areas as notified by the Central Pollution Control Board from time to time, (iii) Notified Eco-sensitive areas, (iv) inter-State boundaries and international boundaries". It is an imperative requirement to understand the basic concepts concerned to the pollution control and the environmental impact assessment in an overall objective of the sustainable development . Environment in EIA Context "Environment" in EIA context mainly focuses, but is not limited to physical, chemical, biological, geological, social, economical, and aesthetic dimensions along with their complex interactions, which affects individuals, communities and ultimately determines their forms, character, relationship, and survival. In EIA context, 'effect' and 'impact' can often be used interchangeably.

9 However, 'impact' is considered as a value judgment of the significance of an effect. Sustainable development is built on three basic premises , economic growth, ecological balance and social progress. Economic growth achieved in a way that does not consider, the environmental concerns, will not sustain in the long run. Therefore, sustainable development needs careful integration of environmental, economic, and social needs in order to achieve both an increased STANDARD of living in short term, and a net gain or equilibrium among human, natural, and economic resources to support future generations in the long term. It is necessary to understand the links between environment and development in order to make choices for development that will be economically efficient, socially equitable and responsible, as well as environmentally sound. Pollution Control Strategies Pollution control strategies can be broadly categorized into preventive and reactive.

10 The reactive strategy refers to the steps that may be applied once the wastes are generated or contamination of the receiving environment takes place. The control technology or a combination of technologies to minimize the impact due to process rejects/wastes varies with quantity and characteristics desired control efficiency and 2. STANDARD TERMS OF REFERENCE (TOR) FOR EIA/EMP REPORT FOR. PROJECTS/ACTIVITIES REQUIRING ENVIRONMENT CLEARANCE. economics. Many combinations of techniques could be adopted for treatment of a specific waste or the contaminant receiving environment, but are often judged based on techno-economic feasibility. Therefore, the best alternative is to take all possible steps to avoid pollution itself. This preventive approach refers to a hierarchy that involves: i) prevention & reduction; ii) recycling and re-use; iii) treatment; and iv) disposal, respectively.
