Main purpose
The purpose of this course is to:
- Provide the students with knowledge on environmental management according to EU legislation on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) relevant to supply engineering
- Provide the students with knowledge of the permitting process relevant to supply engineering projects.
Knowledge
Students completing this course will be familiar with:
- How to find and read legislation on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
- How to identify projects which require Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
- The overall processes of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
- The process and questions relevant to an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening.
- How to find typical areal conflicts of interest in the natural and environmental management
- The most common used public webservices distributing geodata
- The basics of permit applications for projects, including types of permits (e.g., excavation, construction, utility installation) and basic requirements.
- The components of a permit application and the practical knowledge required for supply engineering projects.
Skills
Students completing this course will be able to:
- Identify if a project belongs to appendix I or II of EIA directive
- Identify typical conflicts of interest in the natural and environmental management
- Identify and apply the methods and data used for EIA screening of different types of projects
- Describe the use of significance arguments with respect to an EIA screening
- Identify cross-links and remediation topics in the relation between project planning and EIA
- Name the Competent Authority with respect to EIA relevant for a specific project
- Extract relevant geodata from public webservices and import these into QGIS
- Create a WebGIS to visualize the project results
- Explain the basics of permit applications for projects, including various types of permits (e.g., excavation, construction, utility installation) and the basic requirements and components of a permit application.
- Prepare a comprehensive permit application for a hypothetical project
Competences
After completion of the course the student must be able to:
- Carry out an EIA screening for projects relevant to supply engineering
- Be able to visualize geodata in maps intended for project communication
- Identify and describe different types of permits (e.g., excavation, construction, utility installation) and outline the basic requirements and components of a permit application.
- Create a thorough permit application for a hypothetical project
Topics
Teaching methods and study activities
The teaching style is based on the theories of Problem Based Learning (PBL) and the activities are a mixture of Lectures, collection of data and its analysis, report writing, assignments solved with assistance of lecturer discussions in groups assisted by the lecturer, presentations, self-study, homework assignments.
137.5 hours of work for the student.
