Procedure for Environment Impact Assessment
Prediction and assessment have been performed as follows,and the basic procedure is shown in the figure on the under.
  1. All the projects from the construction stage to the operation has been divided into 'Airport existence', 'Airport operation' and 'Airport construction work', and the environmental impact elements on Osaka Bay and the surrounding area (hereinafter called 'environmental impact elements') and items influenced by 'environmental impact elements' (hereinafter called 'environment impact assessment items') have been extracted.
  2. In regard to life environment and natural environment,the present situation has been analyzed by site investigations and existing documentation, etc.
    And concrete items (here in after called 'prediction and assessment items') have been selected for the environment impact assessment items for which an influence by the environment impact elements is to be predicted.
  3. In order to make impartial judgment from the viewpoint of conservation of life environment and natural environment, environment conservation targets have been set for each prediction and assessment item.
  4. Paying considerations to reducing the environment impact by implementation of environment conservation measures for each prediction and assessment item, so as not to over] or underestimate the influence onto the environment, efforts have been made to make quantitative predictions as far as possible, and the results have been assessed by comparison with the environment conservation targets.
