Step 2: Scoping. Scoping is the second step in the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. The purpose of scoping is to define the scope of the assessment, which involves identifying the environmental, social, and economic impacts that need to be evaluated, as well as the methods and resources that will be used to gather and analyze information.
It seeks to minimize adverse impacts on the environment and reduces risks. If a proper EIA is carried out, then the safety of the environment can be properly managed at all stages of a project- planning, design, construction, operation, monitoring and evaluation as well as decommissioning.

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is an integral component of sound decision-making. Environmental impact assessment helps to prevent or reduce environmental harms by informing the decision-makers the likely environmental impacts of intended project, its alternatives and/or mitigation measures before the implementation starts.
Before the start of an impact assessment, the Agency can establish a longer or shorter timeline for the impact assessment phase under certain conditions. The Agency may, at the request of the proponent, extend the three-year timeline for the Impact Statement phase. The Minister can also extend timelines for an impact assessment by up to 90 days ...
