Environmental Statements are often prepared to
define the ecological baseline, mitigation, and impacts for each type of
eco-friendly receptors: ecology, water resources, archaeological incomes, human
beings, etcetera. Polluted land is often managed in the same ways as the
various eco-friendly receptor groups, although it is mainly a cause of effects
rather than a receptor. It also usually refers to a pre-existing condition. Its
harmful effect is on a diversity of different receptors such as human health,
assemblies and buildings, external water features, groundwater features, and
ecosystems.
It often means that land contamination experts
struggle with rationally assimilating the issue in a SEPP
55 Contamination Assessment. Stabbing to the organized approach of
an environmental statement is essential to ensure a clear description of the
existing ecological condition, the impending impacts, and the actions taken to
avoid, reduce, offset or manage the effects.
Contaminated land is in many nations considered on
a source-pathway-receptor base. It is essential to know the impact land growth
can have on the issue of contaminated soil. Development can inhibit any of
these three elements. It can familiarise sensitive receptors by altering land
use, for instance, by construction new residential units on a site that
formerly used for heavy industry. New pathways linking previous contamination
with a present receptor can be formed, for instance, when piling through a
non-permeable layer connecting a layer of polluted soils with a deep aquifer.
Finally, by introducing impurities on the site, a development project can
familiarise a potential source of pollution.
The second component to consider is the organized approach of an environmental statement. Separately from the introductory and technical elements defined in the ecological declaration, an excellent environmental declaration comprised the following sections:
- Environmental
baseline conditions
- Potential
environmental impacts
- Mitigating
measures
- Residual
environmental impacts
It is essential to understand the features
development itself as well as the features of the environment that the event
where the growth will locate. It is the interaction between the extension and
its environment that regulates the environmental impact. A thorough study of
the current ecological condition and the environmental baseline is an essential
step in carrying out an Environmental
Impact Assessment.
Other ecological aspects are less delicate to
change over time. Archaeological reports, for example, are likely to remain
unpretentious. It is important to note that although the real archaeological
resource may stay unchanged. It may be that new overall information about the
area has emerged that affects the closes of the original archaeological impact
valuation.
They will have to retrace the existing baseline
information and consider any variations that may have occurred. If the
deduction is that no material changes to the baseline have happened, no
re-assessment would be needed.
