proposed integrated complex for delhi judicial academy

Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA) Study for Proposed Integrated Complex for Delhi Judicial Academy,
National Law School, and National Institute for Mediation & Conciliation at Dwarka, New Delhi
Electricity will be used during construction to provide power to construction equipment and
in operation for lighting of buildings and running utilities equipments. Electricity consumption will
be kept at a minimum when possible by adopting electricity conservation measures.
The project proponent will ensure that the contractor selected to construct the project will
implement best management practices to conserve renewable resources. These may include, but are
not limited to:
• Use of energy-efficient lighting;
• Lighting of only critical areas during non-working hours;
• Efficient scheduling of construction crews;
• Minimizing idling of construction equipment and vehicles;
• Recycling of used motor oils and hydraulic fluids.
5.8 Potential Environmental Impact Matrix
This methodology incorporates a list of project activities with a checklist of environmental
components that might be affected. Matrix methods incorporate environmental conditions on one
axis and proposed actions on the other.
The impact of each action on the various environmental components are filled in a tabular format to
estimate the impacts may be either qualitative, insignificant, high, adverse, beneficial or
quantitative by assessing a numerical score, but in the end there should be a grand total to signify
the magnitude of the impact. The activities discussed above are likely to affect the environment in
varying degrees. Relevant components of environment, which are likely to experience some
impacts due to the project activities, have been identified.
Environmental parameters are broadly classified under three following groups considering the
cause - effect relationship:
• Physical Environment
• Biological Environment
• Non Biophysical Components (NBP)
