International EIA procedure

• EIA is carried out in compliance with the UN
  convention on EIA in a Transboundary Context
  (Espoo Convention 1991)?
• Potentially any country, which has ratified the
  Espoo convention, may ask to be involved in the
  EIA procedure, if it is likely to be affected by
  the transboundary impact of a proposed activity

12
The nature of an EIA procedure

• EIA brings the environmental issues into the
  planning project so that they are taken into
  account together with the economic and technical
  issues
• EIA increases interaction between the project
  owner and stakeholders and also between
  stakeholders
• it is necessary to carry out EIA properly before
  any decisions have been made this makes the
  impact assessment of different alternatives
  possible
• as a result of the early timing, the input
  technical information is often not very accurate
  in EIA, but the impact evaluation is
  comprehensive and versatile. The lacking
  information is replaced by worst case
  assumptions

13
The planned project location and alternatives to
be assessed

• The main alternative is an NPP of electric power
  of 1500 2500 MW
• There are four alternative locations
  Kristinestad, Pyhäjoki, Ruotsinpyhtää and Simo
• The NPP will consist of one or two light-water
  reactors and the disposal site for low- and
  medium-level waste
• The zero alternative, i.e. that the project will
  not be implemented, will be studied also

Contents of the EIA program

• Description and objective of the planned project
• Description of the alternatives
• Description of the EIA procedure and its schedule
• Plan of communication and public participation
• Description of Fennovoima Oy
• Short description of the present state of
  environment
• Description of those environmental impacts that
  shall be assessed
• Description of methods to be used in impact
  assessment and estimation of their accuracy
• List of the permits required by the project
• Short description of other matters to be
  presented in the EIA report prevention and
  mitigation of impacts, uncertainties of the
  assessment, main features of the monitoring of
  the environmental impacts

15
Most important impacts to be assessed in the NPP
EIA

• Impacts on the air quality and climate
• Impacts on aquatic environment and fishing
• Impacts of waste and by-products and their
  management
• Impacts on the ground, bedrock and groundwater
• Impacts on vegetation, animals and objects of
  nature conservation
• Impacts on land use, structures and the landscape
• Impacts on people and society
• Impacts on traffic
• Impacts on noise levels
• Impacts on the energy market
• Impacts of exceptional and accident situation

Communication

• Comprehensive communication is needed for this
  significant EIA
• project especially because the project is
  internationally interesting and
• the EIA procedure is international on the basis
  of the Espoo convention
• Means of communication
• Internet (www.fennovoima.fi, competent authority
  www.tem.fi)?
• Stakeholder groups
• Public meetings
• Press releases and brochures
• Resident survey and thematic interviews
• Fennovoimas local offices
