The official procedure for issuing an operation licence defines which projects require environmental impact assessment. Limnos d.o.o. received the general certificate for the prepartion of complete environmental impact reports issued by the Ministry of the Environment and Physical Planning. Environmental impact reports represent the basis on which the Ministry completes environmental impact assessments.
An environmental impact report identifies, describes, and assesses a project's direct and indirect effects on the following factors:
- humans, fauna, and flora,
- soil, water, air, climate, and landscape,
- material assets, natural and cultural heritage,
- the interaction between biotic and abiotic factors.
The report's aim is to prepare relevant and accurate evaluations and predictions of potential impacts on the environment, to suggest alternatives to the planned project, and to determine additional measures necessary for the project implementation.
