Usually, a link is the road from one junction to thenext.A picture of a possible future.The process of identifying the issues to be addressed by an EIA.It is a method of ensuring that an EIA focuses on the importantissues and avoids those that are considered to be lesssignificant.A process to determine the need for an EIA.Organic or inorganic material, precipitated from water toaccumulate on the floor of a waterbody, watercourse or trap.Commonly consists of silt, but can include coarser material andparticles.The essential character and sprit of an area.The extent to which the receiving environment can accept andaccommodate change without experiencing adverse effects.The process of being cut off / severed.Defined levels at which measurements become significant.Effects that are deemed important to require an environmentalassessment.Related to legislation or prescribed in law or regulation.A separate part at the end of a book which gives additionaltechnical information.A specified working practice.Microgrammes Per Cubic Metre - A measure of concentration interms of mass per unit volume. A concentration of 1ug/m3means that one cubic metre of air contains one microgram(millionth of a gram) of pollutant.Comparison of modelled results versus any local monitoring dataat relevant locations.The value of a particular area or view in terms of what is seen.Change in the appearance of the landscape as a result ofdevelopment, both positive and negative.Extent of potential visibility to or from a specified location, areaor feature.10
