Soil Quality like Soil contamination, agriculture runoff, accidental chemical spills etc.<br \/>\n2. Water Quality such as Water contamination, Leachates runoff &#038; other parameters<br \/>\n3. Past Cumulative Impacts such as air, noise, soil &#038; water pollution.<br \/>\n4. Critically &#038; severely polluted areas as per the #CPCB Guidelines.<br \/>\n5. Socio-Economic Risk: Rehabilitation and Resettlement.<br \/>\n6. Topographical pattern such as Low\/High lying areas like Hilly, steep, Mountains etc.<br \/>\n7. Geological Features like soil, mineral and rock type.<br \/>\n8. Ecology &#038; Biodiversity like National Park, Wildlife sanctuary, Native species, Alien Species etc.<br \/>\n9. Natural hazards like earthquakes, subsidence, landslides, Soil erosion, Landslide, flooding, or extreme or adverse climatic conditions.<br \/>\n10. Ground water table fluctuation (or Percolation rate)<br \/>\n11. Water bodies: wetlands, dams, rivers, oceans, lakes etc.<br \/>\n12. Land classification, i.e. private, government and agricultural land etc.<br \/>\n13. Livestock Grazing<br \/>\n14. Infrastructure facilities such as highways, roads, rail, ports, harbours, oil &#038; gas pipelines, any defence installation, interstate and international boundaries etc.<br \/>\n15. Wind Direction (Upwind &#038; downwind)<br \/>\n16. Eco-Sensitive area (EPA Act,1986)<\/p>\n<p>How (Grading of Environmental Risk) can we grade any Environmental Risk?<br \/>\nCriteria for grading the risk set by the concerned authority into<br \/>\n1. Grade 1: Low Risk Grading<br \/>\n2. Grade 2: Low to Medium Risk Grading<br \/>\n3. Grade 3: Medium to High Risk Grading<br \/>\n4. Grade 4: High Risk Grading <\/p>\n<p>The entire Process follows for Site Selection <\/p>\n<p>The general site selection process will comprise the following stages:<br \/>\n\u2022 Firstly, we have to Define Study Area<br \/>\n\u2022 then proper screening of the Study Area will be needed<br \/>\n\u2022 Next Identification of suitable areas for sites through SWOT Analysis<br \/>\n\u2022 Next is Identification of Relevant issues of Concern such as environmental, socio-economic, project cost, soil quality, water quality, health, water contamination, biodiversity etc.<br \/>\n\u2022 Next is the Analysis of the risk by the Environmental Professionals and finally<br \/>\n\u2022 After analysing the risks, the proponent can take appropriate decision<\/p>\n<p>What really happens when one neglects such Environmental Risk at the stage of Site Selection (Repercussion of Negligence of Environmental risk )?<\/p>\n<p>The site selection stage this can permanently handicap the project&#8217;s revenues and profits, which will affect the project with respect to licenses such as<br \/>\n1. Refusal of Land permit from the concerned authority<br \/>\n2. Refusal of Environmental permissions &#038; clearance such as Environmental Clearance, CTE\/CTO etc.<br \/>\n3. Penalties\/Fine levied by the authority.<\/p>\n<p>How one can Mitigate Environmental Risk at the Site Selection Stage (How to mitigate environmental risk at site selection stage)?<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps such as:<br \/>\n1. Conduct a site survey to identify elements and create a master development plan.<br \/>\n2. Avoid deforestation, disruption of groundwater flows and other mitigation measures to minimise the ecological footprint.<br \/>\n3. Hire Environmental professionals, architects, geologists etc., to minimise and evaluate the environmental risk.<br \/>\n4. Select a site that meets green standards such as Use of sun&#8217;s energy in the daylighting, solar gain and natural lighting<br \/>\n5. Avoid the disturbance of any Wildlife habitat, Human Settlement, Forest area etc.<br \/>\n6. Avoid development in poorly located sites, i.e. wetlands, virgin native ecosystems, or restore native ecosystems.<br \/>\n7. Selection of the site should be made in a proper manner that reduces erosion and contamination<\/p>\n<p>Know more: https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/environmental-risk-at-the-stage-of-site-selection\/<br \/>\nPhone:- 7838392800<br \/>\nEmail:- info@corpbiz.io<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about #Corpbiz\u200b?<br \/>\nSubscribe to our Corpbiz channel to get the latest updates, tips, and help. https:\/\/bit.ly\/3w7AFJ5<\/p>\n<p>Website: https:\/\/corpbiz.io\u200b<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/corpbizhq\u200b<br \/>\nTwitter: https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/corpbizhq\u200b<br \/>\nInstagram: http:\/\/instagram.com\/corpbizhq<br \/>\nLinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/corpbizhq<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we have seen amidst growing concerns in the industry towards #environmental risks before constructing any b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1200050,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[593400],"tags":[83345,717331,57718,717343,717333,717340,717335,717338,717334,717332,717330,717342,189430,717336,717341,717337,717339],"class_list":{"0":"post-1200049","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2021-autumn","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-ca-support","10":"tag-environment","11":"tag-environmental","12":"tag-environmental-risk","13":"tag-environmental-risk-assessment","14":"tag-environmental-risk-at-site-selection-stage","15":"tag-environmental-risk-management-process","16":"tag-identification-of-environmental-risk","17":"tag-identification-of-environmental-risk-at-site-selection-stage","18":"tag-legal-services","19":"tag-risk-assessment","20":"tag-selection-project","21":"tag-what-is-an-environmental-risk","22":"tag-what-is-environmental-risk-assessment","23":"tag-what-is-environmental-risk-in-business","24":"tag-what-is-environmental-risk-management"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1200049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1200049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1200049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1200050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1200049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1200049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/anime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1200049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
