Environmental Impact Assessment

EIA and SEA are the most demanding EU policies in terms ofspatial dataQuestionnaire to the EIA experts in the EU-15 countries during INSPIRE preparation:– 9,500-15,000 EIAs and 2,800-4,400 SEAs are carried out

every year in the EU-15– Average cost of preparing EIA and SEA reports is €73,000– Total cost for carrying out these environmental assessments in

the Member States ranges between €900-1,400m– Problems related to the availability of spatial data increase the

costs of EIA and SEA studies by, on average, nearly 13%– If all these costs could be removed savings of €120-180m per

annum could be achieved


DIVA Project - Spatial Information for Environmental Assessments

The project is intended to ensure a more efficient and reliable process to environmental assessments (SEA, EIA) and environmental authorizations (IPPC), with a significant reduction of time and costs for all the stakeholders involved (private and public sector)

Overcome difficulties faced by private companies and public administrations in carrying out assessment analysis, with regard to environmental and spatial data detection and access, and the possibility of common reference models

Environmental authorities will be able to reduce verification time, and to avoid any further ex-post validation of the environmental reference frameworks for plans and projects.

The process of environmental assessments and authorizations will be enhanced, in terms of clearness, rapidity and costs saving for both the enterprise and the public administration, that is, for the citizen.


DIVA Project - Spatial Information for Environmental Assessments

Objectives

Providing all private and public organizations responsible for environmental assessments with certified data, free of charge

Sharing analysis methodologies, in terms of negative or positive impacts on the environment


DIVA Project – Specific Objectives

Building a proper baseline for environmental planning, verification and monitoring in the areas of interestPreparing and offering a spatial and environmental common basis for all activities, intended for istitutional and private purposes, with the aim of facilitating environmental analysis, verification procedures, and the subsequent monitoring segmentSharing technical-scientific criteria, methodologies and tools for the whole process

Providing users with clear and effective, though not comprehensive, environmental baselines

Use of the INSPIRE infrastructure and tools in order to share information avoiding duplication of systems


Project Activities – Line of Work A

Sharing Certified Environmental Data and Information– Locating and gathering data and information of interest

from public administrations and private organizations– Data verification, validation and classification in compliance

with national and international standards– Sharing available information offering a unique access point

and free consultation– Organizing information according to environmental

reference frameworks designed for environmental assessments, either for what concerns public administrations jurisdiction, or plans and projects conceiving

– Defining specific data sharing agreements in order to maintain information at the most appropriate level and to allow periodical updating


Project Activities – Line of Work B

Sharing Environmental Models

– Identification and analysis of criteria, methodologies and simulation models utilised in specific environmental themes

• Air

• Noise

• Water

– Sharing knowledge and know-how to assist proponents in the analysis process and to support environmental authorities and experts throughout the assessment procedures

– Identification of minimum requirements suggested for the environmental analysis, in terms of input and output data enhancement


Identification and Collection

Information produced– by or for the Directorate of Environmental Protection, in the

sphere of all activities under its jurisdiction, or under the jurisdiction of other associated Divisions, such as the Commission for Technical Verification of the Environmental Impact;

– by or for the Ministry of Environment and Protection of Land and Sea, in the sphere of all activities under its jurisdiction, or under the jurisdiction of any of its divisions, departments, bodies;

– by public administrations, agencies, authorities, that can be national, regional or local;

– by other actors, in the sphere of their activities and directly or indirectly related to environment, such as, for example, information addressed to environmental impact studies or monitoring used for environmental authorizations (EIA, SEA, IPPC).


INSPIRE Tools

The Directorate for the Environmental Protection of the Italian Ministry of Environment developed a set of tools currently in use, free of charge and open to the public, for datavisualization and sharing:

Suite GIS OpenGIADA, managing spatial and environmental dataSILOS, web-GIS “Ambiente in Comune” and other themeportals, allowing visualization and sharing of spatial and non-spatial data and documents


Data Management Tools - OpenGIADAGeographical Information And Database Administration

Software accessible by public administrations and other stakeholdersInformation stored in common DBsShared interface for data searching and management through:

CATALOGO DEI METADATI

LO SCOPO DEL CATALOGO E’:

• Descrivere le caratteristiche dei dati per un loro corretto utilizzo;

• Condividere facilmente informazioni referenziate tematiche geografiche tra diverse organizzazioni;

• Assicurare la disponibilità di un sistema di dati territoriali ed ambientali costantemente aggiornati ed affidabili;

• Consentire la ricerca dei dati di interesse secondo diversi criteri;

• Visualizzare le informazioni trovate;

• Indirizzare ai servizi disponibili per la visualizzazione e l’utilizzo dei dati.

Catalogo DATI

CatalogoIl catalogo contiene l’insieme dei dati e delle informazioni ambientali e territoriali condivise e validate dai soggetti alla loro raccolta/elaborazione necessari per le attività di analisi e valitazione ambientale.

E’ possibile ricercare ricercare i dati attraverso percorsi guidati in base al territorio interessato o al tema ambientale, attraverso la ricerca libera o avanzata.

LINE 2Implementation of a

network and security infrastructurefor data processing


Objectives

Implementation and management of an integrated platform, for sharing, managing and utilizing documental and cartographic information, both environmental and territorial, consistent with the whole process and with preiously developed projects:

– Ensuring a spatial and environmental data system, constantly updated and reliable, representing the fundamental issue for planning and implementing ex ante actions aimed to Environment protection and safety, at a local and central level, pursuing the prevention instead of the emergency management approach

– Making available environmental information to the widest possible public, also through the information and communication technologies (Aarhus Convention, Directive 2003/4/EC, Leg. Dec. 195/2005)

– Developing a systematic process of data interchange and sharing inside public administration system, prefiguring the possibility of specific promotional, support and sensiblization actions.

Facilitating, semplification and support to sharing activities for environmental and spatial data of interest, owned by local administrations (municipalities) involved in the projectAllow the publication of geographical information through Map Serving open softwaresAllowing information sharing (documents, databases and web resources) amongst the involved municipalities and the Italian Ministry of Environment
