An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required for all acquisition programs to ensure that environmental issues are addressed. This assessment evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the program and helps in making informed decisions to minimize or mitigate any adverse effects on the environment.
Some feel that it may be splitting hairs to find a difference between these terms. An Impact Assessment (EIA) addresses the possible environmental consequences of a proposed action while an Evaluation Report (EER) addresses the possible impact of a continuing action or a changing practice. One can contain the other.

EIA is Environmental Impact Assessment. Environmental Impact Assessment is a tool used for decision making regarding projects, and developments. The Environmental Assessment is carried out by the prior to any development taking place by the developer or their agents - (typically Environmental Consultants). Environmental Assessment is carried out in order to produce an Environmental Statement. Which usually includes: A Non-Technical summary, a description of the project: location, design, scale, size etc. a description of the receiving environment, description of significant effects and the mitigating measures to be taken to minimise the effects of the project. Usually EIA is tied into a regulatory approval process.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Detailed studies assessing the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project. Environmental Management Plan (EMP): Development of plans to mitigate adverse environmental impacts. Environmental Site Assessment (ESA): Evaluating the historical and current use of a site to determine contamination risks. Compliance Monitoring: Ensuring ongoing compliance with environmental regulations and conditions set forth in the EC. Public Consultation and Participation: Engaging with stakeholders and the public as part of the EC process. Environmental Audits: Periodic reviews and assessments of compliance with environmental standards. Risk Assessment and Management: Identifying and managing potential environmental risks.
