Methodology
The assessment process runs from project registration through to the point where the environmental certificate is processed.
The EIA Process
Tanzania's EIA process has three principal stages. At each stage the responsibilities of the client, the consultant and the regulatory authorities are distinct.
Client
Provide the necessary project information and pay the registration fee (Tsh. 200,000/=) before the report is submitted.
EDLA CONSULT
Prepare the scoping report and the registration form for submission to NEMC.
Regulatory authority
NEMC reviews the submitted project and issues the screening letter together with an invoice for the review cost.
Client
Provide the necessary project information and pay the review cost established by the council.
EDLA CONSULT
Arrange stakeholder consultations and prepare the Environmental Impact Assessment report for submission to NEMC.
Regulatory authority
NEMC conducts site verification at the client's cost and issues the official letter with comments.
Client
Provide the information needed to address the comments raised by the council.
EDLA CONSULT
Address the council's comments in the final report and submit it to NEMC for EIA certificate processing.
Regulatory authority
NEMC reviews the final EIS report before it is submitted to the responsible minister for certificate processing under the Environmental Management Act, 2004.
EDLA CONSULT prepares and submits the required documentation and supports the review process. Statutory review, approval and the issuing of the environmental certificate rest with NEMC and, where applicable, the responsible minister under the Environmental Management Act, 2004. EDLA CONSULT does not control or influence those decisions.
Environmental Monitoring
Our environmental monitoring services verify ambient air quality, emissions and noise; identify areas of a project that may affect the environment or human health; establish the significance of those effects; and recommend mitigation where needed.
Identification of internal and external monitoring points, including sampling stations
Measurement and reporting of air quality and noise data
Assessment of the magnitude and significance of positive and negative effects
Mitigation measures to reduce negative effects
