Monitoring simply means repetitive measurement. In the general context of environmental impact assessment, it usually refers to the measurement of environmental variables after a development proposal has been initiated(the baseline constituting such measurement before project initiation). In the specific context of ecological investigations within impact assessment(i. e., the context of this report), our use of the term monitoring refers to repetitive measurement of specific ecological phenomena to document change primarily for the purposes of(i) testing impact hypotheses and predictions and(ii) testing mitigative measures.

CONT

... laboratory or field experiments could provide some guidance. The obvious ecological phenomenon of interest would be bioaccumulation, the application of which would involve dose-response experiments using the identified target species, or food chain studies if trophic linkages were involved. Such focussed activities would also identify the need for specific, quantitative baseline data.

The term monitoring has taken on a special meaning for some members of the impact assessment community in Newfoundland; it refers to the supervision and surveillance of construction activities by an environmental officer. In this report, monitoring refers simply to measurement of environmental variables over time, often associated with studies undertaken during and after project initiation.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ecosystems
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Compartment - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission
DEF

An approach to perceiving, managing and otherwise living in an ecosystem that recognizes the multifaceted relationships (biological, social, economic, etc.) in that system.

CONT

ecosystem approach: ... Humans are considered part of the system, not separate from it.

CONT

An ecological approach to environmental impact assessment is one that makes optimal use of ecological principles and concepts in the design and conduct of assessment studies and in the prediction of impacts. An ecosystem approach to impact assessment is one in which impact studies and predictions concentrate on phenomena and variables at the community and ecosystems levels. In advocating the former, this report simultaneously endorses a systems approach to environmental assessment, and recognizes the critical importance of ecosystem theory and principles in adopting an ecological approach.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Écosystèmes

DEF

Approche permettant d'appréhender, de gérer un écosystème et d'y vivre, qui reconnaît l'existence d'interactions multiples (biologiques, sociales, économiques, etc.) dans ce système.

CONT

approche écosystémique : approche [qui] suppose notamment que les humains font partie intégrante des écosystèmes.

CONT

L'approche écologique pour l'évaluation des incidences environnementales tire le maximum des principes et des concepts écologiques, pour la conception et la réalisation des études et la prévision des incidences. Avec l'approche basée sur les écosystèmes, les études d'incidences et les prévisions sont axées principalement sur les phénomènes et les variables relatifs à la communauté et aux écosystèmes. Bien que l'on préfère la première, on appuie en même temps dans le rapport l'adoption d'une approche fondée sur les écosystèmes pour l'évaluation d'incidences environnementales, et on reconnaît l'importance capitale de la théorie et des principes des écosystèmes pour l'adoption d'une approche écologique.

To assess degree of sediment contamination, those responsible for environmental assessment of a dredging project can consult the report entitled Interim Criteria for Quality Assessment of St. Lawrence River Sediments issued in 1992 by Environment Canada in conjunction with the Quebec department of the environment. This report gives assessment criteria for three levels of impact : No Effect Level, Minimal Effect Level, and Toxic Effect Level.

CONT

Quant à l'évaluation du degré de contamination des sédiments, un document a été publié en 1992 par Environnement Canada en collaboration avec le ministère de l'Environnement du Québec. Intitulé Critères intérimaires pour l'évaluation de la qualité des sédiments du Saint-Laurent, ce document fournit au gestionnaire responsable de l'évaluation environnementale d'un projet de dragage des critères d'évaluation pour trois niveaux d'effets : le seuil sans effet (SSE), le seuil d'effets mineurs (SEM) et le seuil d'effets néfastes (SEN).

Subject field(s)
  • Effects of Pollution
CONT

The process of environmental impact assessment should not end with the production of a report. It is our contention that an EIS must become as much a document of future commitment and responsibility as it is a summary of past and predicted environmental events. Given the relatively undeveloped state-of-the-art in accurately predicting long-term biological consequences of proposed activities, post-EIS monitoring programmes must be undertaken for environmental impact assessment to develop beyond the current rudimentary game.
