Detailed explanation-1: -Step 4 Environment Impact Evaluation A baseline study is the study of the original status of the environment in the area before the development work of the project is started. This study serves the purpose of a base reference against which the changes due to implementation of the project are measured.
Detailed explanation-2: -Baseline data describes the existing environmental status of the identified study area. The site-specific primary data should be monitored for the identified parameters and supplemented by secondary data if available.
Detailed explanation-3: -Baseline data are the data collected about various factors of the project study. This includes-Physical-the area, the soil properties, the geological characteristics, the topography, watershed properties, etc. Chemical-water, air, noise and soil pollution levels, etc.
Detailed explanation-4: -The baseline conditions are the physical, chemical, biological, social, economic, and cultural setting in which the proposed project is to be located, and where local impacts (both positive and negative) might be expected to occur.
Detailed explanation-5: -In a nutshell, a baseline survey is important because: ➢ A good baseline survey is the foundation of an EIA, resembling piling of a building. ➢ A baseline survey establishes identity of a project; identifies affected communities and their status, and provides yardsticks for impact prediction.
