Environmental assessment (EA) is the assessment of the environmental consequences (positive negative) of a plan, policy, program, or actual projects prior to the decision to move forward with the proposed action. In this context, the term "environmental impact assessment" (EIA) is usually used when applied to actual projects by individuals or companies and the term "strategic environmental ...

The mining plan may be improved based on results from a test mining phase, during which further data on the environmental impacts of mining should have been gained. These data and their interpretation, in addition to previously-collected data and the justification of previously-made decisions for the project [26] , should be used in the impact ...
