- Contents of the EIA report;
- Policy, legal and administrative framework;
- Project description;
- Environmental and socio-economic baseline study;
- Potential environmental impact;
- Monitoring and decommissioning;
- Guidelines for a water management plan, waste management plan, and environmental managment plan.
