Environmental impact assessment is the multi-disciplinary process designed and administered by regulatory agencies to identify, predict and evaluate the foreseeable environmental consequences of proposed projects, policies and plans.

Zipod  carries out  EIA  studies  to guide  the  activities   and development  of  all  projects as listed  in  Decree No.  86 of 1992 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for which this study is mandatory. We outline mitigation strategies and prepare statutory   Environmental   Impact   Statement (EIS) and Environmental Management Plan (EMP).

Environmental Evaluation Study (EES) is performed for existing operations or project activities in Nigeria. EER focuses on the present environmental impacts of existing operations/activities and their corresponding management.  It uses the data in the EIA of the project or Environmental Baseline Survey of the same project area as the reference for comparison and for assessment of cumulative or any incremental environmental impacts, positive or negative. In Nigeria, EES is required by the DPR while FMEnv refers to it as Environmental Audit, focusing on the environment and not project process.

Environmental audit (EA) is an independent assessment of the current status of a party’s compliance with applicable environmental requirements or of a party’s environmental compliance policies, practices, and controls.  It is an independent assessment of a property or business premises to evaluate any environmental risks that may be present.

EA involves periodic assessment of positive and negative impacts of an existing or commissioned project for which an EIA has already been approved. The actual impact of project operation, the accuracy of the predictions, the effectiveness of the mitigation measures, and the functioning of the established monitoring programme are determined and evaluated through environmental audits.

Environmental Compliance Monitoring is carried out to determine the compliance of existing industrial project activities with relevant regulatory requirements.  Its implementation is similar to the environmental auditing process explained above.
