Do you think Environmental Assessment in South Africa is effective or do you think it is just producing a mountain of paper to comply with regulations? We struggle with the irony of some of most comprehensive environmental regulations in the world (and most expensive to comply with), but an environment that nevertheless rapidly degrading. Photo gallery of projects, certificates and interesting environmental road signs and innovative ideas. South Africa is a varied country: Vegetation differs; the environmental authorities in different provinces have different requirements; the public have different concerns. The cost of an Environmental Impact Assessment requires a team of consultants including a coordinating Environmental Assessment Practitioner (EAP) and a number of specialists working as sub-consultants. Some cut costs by: leaving out specialist studies; appointing lower quality sub-consultants; reducing advertising or time for consulting the public; giving most of the work to a junior practitioner to do. The result is that often the project is delayed when authorities or the public demand additional work to be done or appeal the project if their issues are not resolved. The costs of project delays and additional work end up costing the client more than a higher initial quote would have cost. If you wish to minimise the risk of appeals and delays, it is better to spend more and possibly even include review consultants on the team to check the work of the others before submission to authorities. If your project is in a high-risk area, they should advise you to do a low-cost pre-feasibility/ fatal flaw study first. A poor consultant will tell you only when authorities or the public raise objections. Who will actually do most of the work: Will most of the work on your project be done by the principal consultant or by another junior? Project size: If your project is large scale, has this consultant done anything that big before? If you project is very small, then a smaller consultant would probably be able to do it more affordably than a large corporate to to lower overhead management costs.
