This book was released on 2014 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluates the environmental assessment (EA) process based on a case study of proposed Taseko Mines Limited Prosperity Gold-Copper Mine (the Project), approximately 125 km southwest of Williams Lake, British Columbia (BC). The Project triggered BC's provincial and Canada's federal EA process. The two governments subsequently developed a joint review panel process, and agreed to common terms of reference. However, in June 2008, BC's Minister of the Environment, ordered the BC Environmental Assessment Office (BC EAO) to carry out its own separate EA; therefore, two separate EAs were applied to the same proposed Project. Following BC EAO's review, BC approved the Project in January 2010, while in November 2010, Canada rejected the Project based on the recommendations of a federal panel. While using a common terms of reference for their assessment of the same Project, the two governments came to profoundly different conclusions with respect to the environmental and sociocultural effects of the Project. The divergent EA outcomes offer a unique case study, and highlight that values as well as science conflicts may be present throughout EA, and can influence professional judgments and EA decisions. This report analyzes the divergent assessment outcomes for the Project, and assesses the degree to which the current EA process is inherently value-laden versus a rational science based approach. The report completes a best practice evaluation of both EA processes to assess their respective strengths and weaknesses. The principal conclusion is that there needs to be a fundamental restructuring of the EA process from a rational comprehensive planning approach, to a collaborative planning approach that recognizes the inherently value-based and discretionary nature of EA.

This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes an evaluation conducted to provide an independent & impartial review of the experience to date in implementing British Columbia's environmental assessment process. The evaluation focused on the procedural purposes of the province's Environmental Assessment Act. The primary basis for the evaluation was consultation with stakeholders and participants via questionnaires, workshops, and discussions. The report begins with an review of the legal and policy framework of the environmental assessment process and its implementation to date. Systemic, strategic, and specific issues regarding implementation are then discussed, such as process inflexibility, adequacy of project reviews, First Nations participation, and pre-application preparedness. Finally, recommendations are outlined regarding enhancing the effectiveness of the process, ensuring identification of the full range of issues and effects, ensuring resolution of technical issues, promoting certainty, and encouraging accountability. Appendices include a copy of the survey questionnaire.

Download or read book Evaluating Cumulative Effects Assessment in Environmental Impact Assessment written by Melissa Theresa Lucchetta and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As new projects are being developed in various sectors throughout British Columbia and Canada, there is an increased need to assess how these projects collectively impact the environment. While environmental impact assessment is the process used to analyze and assess the environmental impacts from a single project, cumulative effects assessment (CEA) analyzes and assesses the environmental impacts from multiple projects and activities over space and time. I evaluate the quality of CEA through a case study analysis on the Pacific NorthWest LNG project, using a defined set of best practice criteria for CEA. The evaluation specifically focuses on the assessment of the eight biophysical valued components included in the environmental assessment application for the project. Based on the results of the evaluation, I identify strengths and weaknesses in the CEA and provide recommendations for improvement.

Book Synopsis Evaluating Cumulative Effects Assessment Within Environmental Impact Assessment by : Marina Steffensen
Download or read book Evaluating Cumulative Effects Assessment Within Environmental Impact Assessment written by Marina Steffensen and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cumulative effects are the accumulated spatial and temporal impacts to environmental and socioeconomic values from multiple projects and other activities. Cumulative effects assessment (CEA) assesses these accumulated impacts. This project used best practices for evaluating CEA under environmental assessment (EA) through a case study analysis of LNG Canada's proposal to build a liquefied natural gas plant and port in Kitimat, British Columbia. Strengths and weaknesses of the current CEA process are identified. Overall, the evaluation found that only two of seventeen best practices were met. Recommendations are made to mitigate the deficiencies, including undertaking CEA as part of a comprehensive regional planning process instead of as part of EA.
