DEFINITION
Pre-Feasibility Study
A Pre-Feasibility Study shall include, at least,
traffic impact assessment and/or
development impact study, technical
analysis, economic evaluation, and
PRELIMINARY SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT ASSESSMENT.
Feasibility Study
A Feasibility Study shall pertain to the whole gamut of
analyses carried out to determine if the project can be
implemented, can achieve the desired goals and, more
importantly, if it will result in net benefits.
It shall include technical and economic analyses, traffic
and development impact study, SOCIAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT, institutional
analysis, implementation plan, the proposed method of
procurement, and if necessary, financial analysis and
market risk assessment.
Preliminary Environmental and Social
Impact Assessment as a Chapter in
Pre-FS/FS Report
It shall cover the existing condition of the proposed project on the
four (4) environmental components (land, water, air/ noise and
people) within the impact area.
Further, it shall identify, predict and evaluate the extent and
significance of the key potential impacts of the project from pre-
construction to abandonment.
Furthermore, it shall formulate necessary mitigating measures and
actions to address the impacts identified on the project area.
EIA Definition
• The Process of:
Predicting Identifying Evaluating Mitigating IMPACTS
• It is the basis for deciding whether to proceed with the
project, abandon it, revise it, or pursue a different
alternative given the environmental and social costs,
issues and/or consequences that it has to contend with.
