- - - - Model of an industrial facility (what can be done to reduce the need for inputs while increasing product and reducing waste)
      - Fig 13.2b Same as above with an EMS
      - Fig 13.2a Model of an industrial Facility without an EMS
- - - - EIA include economic and social analyses of the project. Give both process and info. Aims to:
        
        Describe the proposed action and alternatives
        
        Predict the nature and magnitude of likely environmental changes
        
        Identify the relevant human concerns and social impacts
        
        Describe mitigation measures to be adopted
        
        Define criteria to be used in measuring the significance of environmental changes, including relative weighting given to different changes
        
        Recommended monitoring procedures to be followed after the action is completed
        
        Estimate the significance of predicted environmental changes
        
        Evaluate the implications of not proceeding with the project
        
        Recommend acceptance or rejection of the project
      - Environmental approvals processes differ depending on the type of the project and the Aus state or territory in which the project is located.
        
        The initial stage of the EIA (describing the project and identifying the impacts) are undertaken by the project proponent (the company proposing to undertake the project) or an environmental consultant working for the project proponent
        
        Environmental Effects Statement (EES): the environmental impact statement in Vic.
        
        As part of the overall project approvals process, the initial work is reviewed by an independent gov.appointed authority and made available to the community. --> then weigh up the benefits and impacts of the projects, taking into consideration any concerns raised by the community.
        
        Then, a recommendation (by the responsible government minister) is made on whether the project should proceed, and make recommendations on what particular conditions should be imposed on the project to proceed (e.g restrictions on operating hours, requirements to monitor air quality).
