1
It is a study to characterize the environment in which the development of a project to determine the best technical, environmental and economic alternative for the design and execution of the same arises.
2
It is the technical study of interdisciplinary character, built into the process of environmental impact assessment, it is intended to predict, identify, assess and correct the consequences or environmental effects that certain actions can cause the quality of life of man and his environment.
3
It is the main instrument for environmental management, in so far as it meets all the criteria, strategies, actions and programs; to prevent, mitigate and compensate for negative impacts and empower positive.
4
It is a (quantitative or qualitative) parameter which provides a measure of the magnitude of the behavior and / or change in the characteristics or behavior of an environmental variable.
