EIA REPORT PROCESS

EIA report process is a process applied for activities included in the scope of EIA Regulation Annex 1 or “EIA Required” decision as a result of PDB (Project Description Brief). EIA Application File is prepared and then Public Participation and Scope and Special Format Determinatiom Meeting are maden. After these meetings,“EIA report” is prepared according to special format of Ministry and process ends by “EIA Positive” or “EIA Negative” decision.

 

EIA report can only be prepared by firms having compliance certificate from Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. In this report, all of the environmental impacts are considered and it includes how the waste and residues may cause environmental pollution become harmless and precautions required to be taken.
