3.A multi-million-dollar power plant project to provide power supply for remote communities by GRIDco was stopped by the Environmental Protection agency (EPA) citing violation of the EPA’s protocols. The EPA argues that GRIDco did not conduct environmental impact assessment (EIA) on the project within the community it is located and therefore if the project is allowed to continue, it will pose public health risk to the inhabitants within the catchment area. (a) Why is it necessary to conduct EIA on such an important project? And what will be the expected outcome of the impact assessment?
