The cost to conduct an environmental impact assessment can be a significant part of the costs of planning and design of a development project. E 'known that the EIA costs are difficult to predict at the beginning of the project. This uncertainty is due mainly to an initial lack of understanding of the business game environment for the development site. The project progresses, knowledge of the site have increased gradually and may introduce new costs, while some risks can be reduced. Particularly inthe current economic situation is necessary to have a clear understanding of the costs and risks of environmental impact assessment at an early stage of the project.
The first step to effective management of the cost of environmental impact assessment is to conduct a thorough study of EIA scoping. The result of the EIA scoping study should be a clear understanding of the fundamental properties of the page and the anticipated risks and sensitivities. It should also be a clearProgram, how to deal with problems that were identified in a larger environment.
After a careful study of EIA scoping, uncertainties remain. This uncertainty is much easier to manage. For example, during the EIA scoping study has found that no significant archaeological features were recorded in the broader context on a website. The next step, which is proposed is to conduct geophysical survey on the spot. DependingPoll results can be intrusive for a commitment to conduct an investigation in the form of an excavation.
There are three uncertainties, which are the final cost of archaeological work in determining the environmental impact. First, there is uncertainty about the exact cost to conduct the geophysical survey. The margin of error should be relatively low on this because it is a rather uncertain business. The second is the uncertainty about whether theResults of the survey show the need for further work. This is a yes or no question where the uncertainty refers to the possibility that further work is needed. Finally, the third piece of concerns uncertainty about the cost of this investigation was intrusive necessary.
A system based on the system Monte Carlo estimates of the costs, is best equipped to respond to these types of uncertainties. The results of the cost of the system Monte Carlo prediction is usually a number of potentialProject costs, together with the probability that each of these costs is not exceeded. Sun uses a combination of a rigorous EIA scoping study and use of the Monte Carlo method cost estimates are essential tools for efficient management of the costs of environmental impact assessments.
