The correct answer is: d) All of the above
Environmental clearances are mandatory for mining projects in Tamil Nadu to assess potential impacts, mitigate adverse effects, and ensure compliance with regulations.
- Assess potential impacts: Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) are conducted to assess the potential impacts of a mining project on the environment. This includes impacts on air quality, water quality, soil quality, biodiversity, and human health.
- Mitigate adverse effects: Once the potential impacts of a mining project have been identified, mitigation measures are put in place to reduce or eliminate those impacts. This may include measures such as dust suppression, water treatment, and wildlife monitoring.
- Ensure compliance with regulations: Mining projects must comply with a number of environmental regulations, including regulations on air quality, water quality, soil quality, biodiversity, and occupational health and safety. Environmental clearances are a way of ensuring that mining projects comply with these regulations.
Environmental clearances are an important tool for protecting the environment from the impacts of mining projects. By requiring mining projects to undergo an EIA and to comply with environmental regulations, environmental clearances help to ensure that mining projects are carried out in a way that minimizes their environmental impacts.
