One of the objectives of the Act was to make environmental impact assessment statutory. The MoEF under Rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 notified mandatory EIA\u2019s for 29 designated projects. The notification came on 27th January 1994. This was the principal piece of legislation governing environmental impact assessment. The notification made it compulsory to conduct and submit an EIA study report to an Impact Assessment Agency. As per the notification, it required to consult a multi-disciplinary committee of experts. The EIA provision was hence made a mandatory requirement under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 with the following four objectives:<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n\u00d8\u00a0\u00a0 Predict the environmental impact of projects in advance\r\n\r\n\u00d8\u00a0\u00a0 To conduct baseline environmental data of the area where project has been proposed\r\n\r\n\u00d8\u00a0 To find ways to manage and mitigate the expected adverse environmental impacts of the project\r\n\r\n\u00d8\u00a0 Shape the projects as per local environmental conditions\r\n\r\n\u00d8\u00a0\u00a0 Public participation and opinion of the experts for the decision-makers\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Notification paved the way which made developmental projects (industries and infrastructure like dams, mines, refineries, large commercial complexes, highways, power projects, etc.) responsible for ensuring their environmental impacts as part of their planning and design processes. The notification specified the step by step process of obtaining Environmental Clearance (EC) for various projects enlisted in the notification. This also ensured public participation in the decision making so that communities that live in the project area are not threatened.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The notification has 4schedules and an application form the schedule-I enlists the projects requiring environmental clearance from the central government. The schedule-I contain 30 projects.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The schedule-II details the procedure for seeking environment clearance of projects. According to Schedule II of the notification, the EIA report should contain the following studies:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Description of the proposed activities like area of project, its location, other projects in surrounding area, architectural and technical design etc.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Details of the base line environmental data in terms of air quality, water quality, soil quality, noise, flora &amp; fauna, geological and geographical conditions etc.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">To predict the environmental parameters which will be affected by the proposed activity?<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">To predict the waste generation, water requirement (and the existing balance), power requirement etc.<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">To predict the social, economical and health impacts<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Description of the practical activities as appropriate<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">A risk assessment report and disaster management plan to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of proposed activity and assessment of those measures;<\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: justify\">A detailed environmental feasibility report of all the information provided.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The schedule III details the composition of the expert committees for environmental impact assessment. The Notification also mandates a public hearing under schedule IV, with further review by a committee of experts in certain cases. Any member of the public can have access to a summary of the Project Report and the detailed environment management plans. After initial implementation of EIA notification 1994, the MoEF also made many amendments in the notification. MoEF vide notification No. S.O.319 E dated 10th April 1997, took a step in decentralizing the responsibilities of conducting EIA.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The EIA Notification, 1994 was subsequently amended time and again. Amendments of 4th May 1994, 10th April 1997 and 27th January 2000 led to making EIA mandatory for 30 activities. The detailed EIA notification 1994 is appended herewith along with the schedules and application form.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT NOTIFICATION S.O.60(E), dated\u00a0<\/strong><strong>27\/01\/1994<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>(Source: http:\/\/envfor.nic.in official website of Ministry of Environment and Forest,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Govt. of India)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1)\u00a0<strong>S.O. 60 (E)- <\/strong>Whereas a notification under clause (a) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 inviting objections from the public within sixty days from the date of publication of the said notification, against the intention of the Central Government to impose restrictions and prohibitions on the expansion and modernization of any activity or new projects being undertaken in any part of India unless environmental clearance has been accorded by the Central Government or the State Government in accordance with the procedure specified in that notification was published as SO No. 80(E) dated 28th January, 1993;<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAnd whereas all objections received have been duly considered;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) and clause (v) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) read with clause (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, the Central Government hereby directs that on and from the date of publication of this notification in the Official Gazette, expansion or modernization of any activity (if pollution load is to exceed the existing one, or new project listed in Schedule I to this notification, shall not be undertaken in any part of India unless it has been accorded environmental clearance by the Central Government in accordance with the procedure hereinafter specified in this notification<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Requirements and procedure for seeking environmental clearance of projects:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (a) Any person who desires to undertake any new project in any part of India or the expansion or modernization of any existing industry or project listed in the Schedule-I shall submit an application to the Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The application shall be made in the proforma specified in Schedule-II of this notification and shall be accompanied by a project report which shall, inter-alia, include an Environmental Impact Assessment Report, Environment Management Plan\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">and details of public hearing as specified in Schedule-IV prepared in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Central Government in the Ministry of Environment and Forests from time to time.

One of the objectives of the Act was to make environmental impact assessment statutory. The MoEF under Rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 notified mandatory EIA\u2019s for 29 designated projects. The notification came on 27th January 1994. This was the principal piece of legislation governing environmental impact assessment. The notification made it compulsory to conduct and submit an EIA study report to an Impact Assessment Agency. As per the notification, it required to consult a multi-disciplinary committee of experts. The EIA provision was hence made a mandatory requirement under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 with the following four objectives:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u00d8\u00a0\u00a0 Predict the environmental impact of projects in advance<\/p>\n<p>\u00d8\u00a0\u00a0 To conduct baseline environmental data of the area where project has been proposed<\/p>\n<p>\u00d8\u00a0 To find ways to manage and mitigate the expected adverse environmental impacts of the project<\/p>\n<p>\u00d8\u00a0 Shape the projects as per local environmental conditions<\/p>\n<p>\u00d8\u00a0\u00a0 Public participation and opinion of the experts for the decision-makers<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Notification paved the way which made developmental projects (industries and infrastructure like dams, mines, refineries, large commercial complexes, highways, power projects, etc.) responsible for ensuring their environmental impacts as part of their planning and design processes. The notification specified the step by step process of obtaining Environmental Clearance (EC) for various projects enlisted in the notification. This also ensured public participation in the decision making so that communities that live in the project area are not threatened.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The notification has 4schedules and an application form the schedule-I enlists the projects requiring environmental clearance from the central government. The schedule-I contain 30 projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The schedule-II details the procedure for seeking environment clearance of projects. According to Schedule II of the notification, the EIA report should contain the following studies:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Description of the proposed activities like area of project, its location, other projects in surrounding area, architectural and technical design etc.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Details of the base line environmental data in terms of air quality, water quality, soil quality, noise, flora &amp; fauna, geological and geographical conditions etc.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">To predict the environmental parameters which will be affected by the proposed activity?<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">To predict the waste generation, water requirement (and the existing balance), power requirement etc.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">To predict the social, economical and health impacts<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Description of the practical activities as appropriate<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">A risk assessment report and disaster management plan to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of proposed activity and assessment of those measures;<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">A detailed environmental feasibility report of all the information provided.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The schedule III details the composition of the expert committees for environmental impact assessment. The Notification also mandates a public hearing under schedule IV, with further review by a committee of experts in certain cases. Any member of the public can have access to a summary of the Project Report and the detailed environment management plans. After initial implementation of EIA notification 1994, the MoEF also made many amendments in the notification. MoEF vide notification No. S.O.319 E dated 10th April 1997, took a step in decentralizing the responsibilities of conducting EIA.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The EIA Notification, 1994 was subsequently amended time and again. Amendments of 4th May 1994, 10th April 1997 and 27th January 2000 led to making EIA mandatory for 30 activities. The detailed EIA notification 1994 is appended herewith along with the schedules and application form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND FORESTS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT NOTIFICATION S.O.60(E), dated\u00a0<\/strong><strong>27\/01\/1994<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>(Source: http:\/\/envfor.nic.in official website of Ministry of Environment and Forest,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Govt. of India)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">1)\u00a0<strong>S.O. 60 (E)- <\/strong>Whereas a notification under clause (a) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 inviting objections from the public within sixty days from the date of publication of the said notification, against the intention of the Central Government to impose restrictions and prohibitions on the expansion and modernization of any activity or new projects being undertaken in any part of India unless environmental clearance has been accorded by the Central Government or the State Government in accordance with the procedure specified in that notification was published as SO No. 80(E) dated 28th January, 1993;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And whereas all objections received have been duly considered;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) and clause (v) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (29 of 1986) read with clause (d) of sub-rule (3) of rule 5 of the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986, the Central Government hereby directs that on and from the date of publication of this notification in the Official Gazette, expansion or modernization of any activity (if pollution load is to exceed the existing one, or new project listed in Schedule I to this notification, shall not be undertaken in any part of India unless it has been accorded environmental clearance by the Central Government in accordance with the procedure hereinafter specified in this notification<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Requirements and procedure for seeking environmental clearance of projects:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">I.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (a) Any person who desires to undertake any new project in any part of India or the expansion or modernization of any existing industry or project listed in the Schedule-I shall submit an application to the Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The application shall be made in the proforma specified in Schedule-II of this notification and shall be accompanied by a project report which shall, inter-alia, include an Environmental Impact Assessment Report, Environment Management Plan\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1em;text-align: initial\">and details of public hearing as specified in Schedule-IV prepared in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Central Government in the Ministry of Environment and Forests from time to time.
