Monitoring and auditing after the decision
Monitoring involves the measuring and recording of physical, social and economic variables associated with development impacts (e.g. traffic flows, air quality, noise, employment levels). Monitoring can improve project management. It can be used, for example, as an early warning system, to identify harmful trends in a locality before it is too late to take remedial action. It can help to identify and correct unanticipated impacts.
Seven different points of audit in the EIA process: decision point audit (draft EIS) by regulatory authority in the planning approval process. decision point audit (final EIS) also by regulatory authority in the planning approval process. implementation audit to cover start up; it could include inspection by the government and the public and focus on the compliance with mitigation and other imposed conditions. performance audit to cover full operation; it could also include government and public inspection. predictive techniques audit to compare actual with predicted impacts as a means of comparing the value of different predictive techniques
project impact auditsalso to compare actual with predicted impacts and to provide feedback for improving project management and for future projects. procedures audit external review (e.g. by the public) of the procedures used by the government and industry during the EIA processes.
