Assessment Requirements

Environmental impact assessment, as practiced in Alberta, includes considerable social impact assessment requirements. The author, while favouring a comprehensive assessment and project approval process, argues that the Minister of the Environment Jacks the legal authority to require project proponents to carry out socio-economic impact assessments. According to the author, the Energy Resources Conservation Board's power to require and consider social impact assessment in the approval process is also doubtful. Legislative clarification is desirable.

In a previous article' the author discussed the concept of environmental impact assessment (ElA) and its general application in Alberta. Ambiguities in the legislative mandates of the Alberta Department of the Environment and the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) were exposed and doubt was expressed whether there was included in those mandates the consideration of, inter alia, social impacts. The intention in this article is to look at Alberta's and Canada's ElA processes in the context of the proposed Slave River project, which will require not only interdepartmental but interjurisdictional coordination. Following a description of the proposed project, the applicable Alberta legislation will be described. Federal environmental assessment and project approval processes will be described and doubt will be expressed that the Environmental Assessment Review Process as practiced enjoys full legal authority. Following all this, recommendations will be derived from both parts of this study.

Abstract Social Impact Assessment is in general used in connection with larger mineral extraction projects in Greenland. Such assessments are not part of the environmental impact assessments, and different authorities are involved. Recent amendments of the relevant legislation have strengthened the quality of the mineral extraction legislation. However, the legal framework and its implementation still leave a lot to the discretion of the Government and could be improved.

Studija o proceni uticaja projekta na životnu sredinu je dokument kojim se analizira i ocenjuje kvalitet činilaca životne sredine i njihova osetljivost na određenom prostoru i međusobni uticaji postojećih i planiranih aktivnosti, predviđaju neposredni i posredni štetni uticaji projekta na činioce životne sredine, kao i mere i uslovi za sprečavanje, smanjenje i otklanjanje štetnih uticaja na životnu sredinu i zdravlje ljudi. U radu je izvršena komparacija procesa procene uticaja projekta na životnu sredinu (eng. Environmental Impact Assess­ment, EIA) prema zakonodavstvu Rep. Srbije u odnosu na procenu uticaja projekta na životnu i društvenu sredinu (eng. Environmental and Social Impact Assessment, ESIA) prema standardu Međunarodne finansijske korpo­racije (eng. International Finance Corporation, IFC) kroz primer vetroparka u Alibunaru, Rep. Srbija.
