Step 1: Screening: This involves a preliminary assessment to determine if the proposed project or development is likely to have significant environmental impacts. If the project is deemed to be potentially significant, an EIA is required.

Step 2: Scoping: In this stage, the scope and extent of the EIA are determined. The key issues and potential impacts are identified, and the baseline environmental data is collected.

Step 3: Impact Assessment: The potential environmental impacts of the proposed project are identified and evaluated. Mitigation measures are proposed to avoid, minimize or compensate for the potential impacts.

Step 4: Preparation of EIA report: The findings of the EIA are summarized in a report that includes the project description, impact assessment, proposed mitigation measures, and other relevant information.

Step 5: Review and Decision Making: The EIA report is reviewed by regulatory authorities and other stakeholders, and a decision is made on whether to approve the project or not. If approved, any conditions or mitigation measures are included in the permit.
