SCENARIO 

The real estate company you work for is about to announce a major mixed-used development project in an Asian country (not your home country and not your company’s home country) that has a long-standing EIA law. The company staff has worked for several years to put the project together.  You have now been tasked to meet with the provincial and local regulators who have EIA oversight for your project. You intend to find out all you can about the EIA scoping requirements and the rules regarding meeting with the public.  Your company’s leadership wants you to ensure that the project moves forward and is well defended from any public opposition.


The regulators are likely to ask you (1) What options or alternatives to the proposed project do you intend to cover in the EIA? (2) What time frame and geographic boundaries for the EIA does your company have in mind? (3) What types of environmental impacts will you be sure to include?  And (4) How do you intend to ensure that the public has a chance to participate in the scoping stage of the EIA process? While it is too soon to provide specific answers to any of these questions, you will need to explain HOW your company intends to come up with answers and why it is important to do so.


Please prepare a memo that your company can share with local regulators outlining what you think your company’s APPROACH should be to answering these four questions. Be sure to discuss how you intend to deal with non-objective judgments as part of this process. You do not need to provide specific answers to the questions. You do need to explain HOW your company intends to come up with answers.


Learning goals:

Developers should do their best to provide and ensure multiple opportunities for participation by all groups impacted by or interested in a proposed project.  They should work with stakeholders to ensure that the EIA is scoped in a way that is sure to cover their most important concerns. EIA forecasts should help decide how a project should be designed and developed, not merely to justify what a developer has decided privately.  


Responses to the Module 2 assignment should:

1. Address the question of how to choose which alternatives to include in an EIA (during the scoping phase) and describe why and how the selection of options for study in an EIA should cover the concerns of all the key stakeholders;

2. Show how public engagement can provide a way to justify non-objective judgments at the heart of an EIA;

3. Discuss how the dimensions of impact should reflect best scientific and technical practices as well as an awareness that non-objective judgments are also involved;

4. Note that, while complex, it is possible to forecast likely environmental impacts and indicate that the overall desirability of various project options can only be assessed by weighting, scaling, and amalgamating multiple dimensions of impact.
