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 many respects impact assessment is equivalent to impact prediction. To be most useful, predictions must :(i) fulfil the environmental assessment objective of contributing to informal decision-making,(ii) contain an estimate of the uncertainty expected, and(iii) be testable through a monitoring programme.

Sanders and others(1980) provided a very comprehensive review of the role of applied ecology in environmental impact assessment. Four general areas were discussed in detail : field monitoring, experimental perturbation studies, laboratory studies, and analytical methods. Considerable attention was given to the need for statistical rigour in the design of baseline and monitoring studies.

Sanders et al., (1980) ont fait un examen complet du rôle de l'écologie appliquée dans le processus d'évaluation. Ils ont analysé quatre domaines généraux, à savoir la surveillance sur les lieux, les études expérimentales des perturbations, les études en laboratoire et les méthodes analytiques. Une attention particulière a été accordée à la nécessité d'avoir recours à des statistiques sérieuses au cours de la préparation des études préliminaires et de surveillance.

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
CONT

La surveillance est une mesure répétitive. Dans le cadre général des évaluations d'incidences environnementales, il s'agit habituellement de la mesure de variables environnementales, après le début de la réalisation d'un projet de mise en valeur (C'est l'étude des conditions de base antérieure à ce début qui sert au contrôle). Dans le cadre plus particulier des études écologiques au sein d'une évaluation des incidences (par ex., le contexte de ce rapport), le terme surveillance désigne la mesure répétée de différents phénomènes écologiques, dont les résultats servent à surveiller les changements, principalement pour (i) évaluer les hypothèses d'incidences et les prévisions, et (ii) mettre des mesures d'atténuation à l'essai.

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.
