Infos

This book challenges the prevailing assumption that Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) should be structured around a unitary EIA process. The book begins by identifying, through a scenario, eight recurrent problems in EIA practice. The characteristics of multiple variations of conventional EIA processes, at both the regulatory and applied levels, are then presented. The residual problems that remain after the conventional processes are described and assessed providing the springboard for a description and analysis of eight alternative EIA processes.

Autor

DAVID P. LAWRENCE, PhD, has been an EIA practitioner for more than twenty-five years and is currently President of Lawrence Environmental. He is also a member of the Planning Institute of British Columbia, the International Association for Impact Assessment, and the National Association of Environmental Professionals.
