Download or read book The Application of Science in Environmental Impact Assessment written by Aaron J. MacKinnon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book charts the history of the application of science in environmental impact assessment (EIA) and provides a conceptual and technical overview of scientific developments associated with EIA since its inception in the early 1970s. The Application of Science in Environmental Impact Assessment begins by defining an appropriate role for science in EIA. From here it goes on to reflect more closely on empirical and deductive biophysical sciences as they relate to well-known stages of the generic EIA process and explores whether scientific theory and practice are at their vanguard in EIA and related applications. Throughout the book the authors reflect on biophysical science as it applies to stages of the EIA process and also consider debates surrounding the role of science as it relates to political and administrative dimensions of EIA. Based on this review, the book concludes that improvements to the quality of science in EIA will rely on the adoption of stronger participatory and collaborative working arrangements. Covering key topics including foundational scientific guidance materials; frameworks for implementing science amid conflict and uncertainty; and emerging ecological concepts, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners of EIA.
Download or read book Environmental Biotechnology written by Daniel Vallero and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Biotechnology: A Biosystems Approach, Second Edition presents valuable information on how biotechnology has acted as a vital buffer among people, pollution, and the environment. It answers the most important questions on the topic, including how, and why, a knowledge and understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological principles of the environment must be achieved in order to develop biotechnology applications. Most texts address either the applications or the implications of biotechnology. This book addresses both. The applications include biological treatment and other environmental engineering processes. The risks posed by biotechnologies are evaluated from both evidence-based and precautionary perspectives. Using a systems biology approach, the book provides a context for researchers and practitioners in environmental science that complements guidebooks on the necessary specifications and criteria for a wide range of environmental designs and applications. Users will find crucial information on the topics scientific researchers must evaluate in order to develop further technologies. Provides a systems approach to biotechnologies which includes the physical, biological, and chemical processes in context Presents relevant case studies on cutting-edge technologies, such as nanobiotechnologies and green engineering Addresses both the applications and implications of biotechnologies by following the lifecycle of a variety of established and developing biotechnologies Includes crucial information on the topics scientific researchers must evaluate in order to develop further technologies
Download or read book Environmental Impact Assessment written by David P. Lawrence and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-11-24 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the prevailing assumption that Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) should be structured around a unitary EIA process. The book begins by identifying, through a scenario, eight recurrent problems in EIA practice. The characteristics of multiple variations of conventional EIA processes, at both the regulatory and applied levels, are then presented. The residual problems that remain after the conventional processes are described and assessed providing the springboard for a description and analysis of eight alternative EIA processes.
Download or read book Final Environmental Impact Statement for a Geologic Repository for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High level Radioactive Waste at Yucca Mountain Nye County Nevada pt 1 Comment response document Introduction etc written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this environmental impact statement (EIS) is to provide information on potential environmental impacts that could result from a Proposed Action to construct, operate and monitor, and eventually close a geologic repository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at the Yucca Mountain site in Nye County, Nevada. The EIS also provides information on potential environmental impacts from an alternative referred to as the No-Action Alternative, under which there would be no development of a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain.
Download or read book Wildlife and Roads written by Bryan Sherwood and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-06-12 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildlife and Roads: The Ecological Impact is a timely publication, as there are growing concerns about the impact made by roads on the environment. Many of the aspects of the complex problem of siting new roads and lessening their negative environmental effects are addressed by contributors who are specialists in their respective subject areas. Among the topics discussed are legal aspects, transport interests, planners' and contractors' viewpoints, plant and animal ecology, and innovative solutions to some of the problems that roads inevitably impose on the natural environment. The articles are based on papers presented at a meeting held by the Linnean Society of London. Each author has made revisions for this book where necessary to reflect current circumstances.

Download or read book NEPA and Environmental Planning written by Charles H. Eccleston and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2008-03-18 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tool for predicting environmental impacts, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) can also be used to predict the impacts of natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. This book demonstrates how to use NEPA as a framework to support decision-making. It includes examples that demonstrate how NEPA can be efficiently integrated with other processes such as ISO 14001, P2, and Adaptive Management. It provides proven tools, techniques, and approaches for streamlining NEPA and environmental planning strategies that reduce the potential for controversy and criticism. It is the first text that covers recent changes to NEPA and the new CEQ guidance expected to be issued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Policy and NEPA is a concise study of environmental policy-where we have come from, what we are facing and where we can go in the future. An outgrowth of initiatives taken by the Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ), and edited by the current Associate Director, this publication studies the effectiveness and efficiency of the implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Divided into three main sections, part one covers the historical background and trends of NEPA. Part two addresses current substantive and conceptual issues associated with the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. Part three discusses future opportunities including impact on humans, effective public participation in the EIA process and the need for sustainability. This excellent reference brings together 28 contributing authors who combine their expertise to address a multitude of topics. Environmental Policy and NEPA is mandatory reading for the professional, researcher, government policymaker, activist, student or anyone looking for a complete presentation of the EIA process.
