Details

Risk assessment using this method is based upon both the nature of the process and the way in which it’s managed. It’s divided into 2 parts:

• Environmental Impact Appraisal (EIA), which concerns the potential environmental impacts of a process according to its type, level of upgrading to meet regulatory requirements, and its location (applies to Part 1 activities only)
• Operator Performance Appraisal (OPA), which relates to how well the operator manages the potential environmental impact of the process
