Write the difference between Screening and Scoping in the EIA process. 1. Screening: Screening is the first step in the EIA process. It helps to decide whether a project needs an EIA or not. Itis done by E1A authorities or consultants using expert teams (engineers, ecologists, scientists, etc.). Itis a quick and easy method to decide if a detailed study is needed. If the impact is likely to be significant, a full EIA is required. 2. Scoping: Scoping is the second step in the EIA process. It identifies the important environmental issues to focus on in the EIA study. Ithelps in site selection, checking technical options, and avoiding delays. It involves stakeholders, such as developers, environmental agencies, and local people. It makes the E1A focused, flexible, and transparent, and improves public understanding. © scanned with OKEN Scannerpe Lt eto ce ‘Screening and Scoping are two different steps in the EIA process.
