1. Environmental Impacts: These are the effects or changes on the environment caused by human
activities, such as pollution, habitat destruction, or resource depletion.
2. Cumulative impacts: Cumulative impacts refer to the combined effect of multiple environmental
changes or stresses over time, resulting from various activities or developments in a particular
area. These impacts can accumulate gradually and may have significant consequences on
ecosystems and communities.
3. Mitigation: Mitigation involves the implementation of measures to reduce or minimize the
negative effects or consequences of human activities on the environment. This can include
actions to prevent pollution, conserve resources, or mitigate habitat destruction.
4. ‘In situ’ conservation: 'In situ' conservation refers to the preservation and protection of
ecosystems, habitats, and species within their natural environment or original location. This
approach aims to maintain biodiversity by safeguarding natural habitats and allowing ecological
processes to continue uninterrupted.
5. Rehabilitation and closure: Rehabilitation and closure involve activities undertaken to restore or
rehabilitate areas affected by human activities, such as mining or industrial operations, to their
pre-disturbance state or to a condition suitable for alternative land uses once operations cease.
6. Environmental Management Programme (EMPr’s): Environmental Management Programmes
(EMPr’s) are comprehensive plans or strategies developed to manage and mitigate
environmental impacts associated with specific projects or activities. These programs outline
actions, monitoring procedures, and responsibilities to ensure compliance with environmental
regulations and minimize negative effects.
7. Line source: A line source refers to a continuous or elongated source of pollution or
environmental disturbance, such as a road, railway, or pipeline. Line sources can contribute to
environmental impacts along their entire length, affecting surrounding ecosystems and
communities.
8. Direct impacts: Direct impacts are the immediate and observable effects of human activities on
the environment, such as habitat destruction, pollution emissions, or resource depletion. These
impacts typically result from direct interactions between human actions and the environment.
9. Noise-sensitive area: A noise-sensitive area is a location where excessive noise levels can have
adverse effects on human health, well-being, or activities. These areas may include residential
areas, schools, hospitals, or wildlife habitats sensitive to noise disturbances.
10. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a
systematic process used to evaluate the potential environmental consequences or impacts of
