A. Project Concept/Identification
Initial stage of the project planning
Basic nature of the project is known including the site(s) where the project is being proposed to be implemented
“Screen” project to determine if project requires a full EIA
Screening
1. Identify environmental issues of concern
Establishing priorities for environmental assessment Developing a strategy for addressing priorities

Benefits to the Society
Can understand the details of the project and its possible impacts on
their environment.
It enables public to visualize possible accidents, also to overcome the
same with effective remediation measures.
Can understand the economic development as against the natural
resources depletion, and decide on project acceptance in their area well
before project execution
