“…The objectivity can be derived, if it is handled properly (Mostert, 1996). The quantification of environmental impacts is carried out by the use of simple and yet popular Leopold matrix method, modified Leopold matrix methods and some modifications from authors side (Leopold, 1991; Villacreses et al., 2017; Valizadeh et al., 2019; Arani, 2021). Project stagewise activities and affected environmental parameters are used in estimating impact score.…”

“…The TIS score has been evaluated against the following index scale. These scales are based upon the previous studies (Pastakia and Jensen, 1998; Sousa et al., 2011; Ştefănescu et al., 2013; Villacreses et al., 2017; Amirshenava and Osanloo, 2019) and expert judgements. These can of course be varied depending upon the way PIV values are estimated.…”

“…Leopold initiated the basic matrix method (Leopold, 1991). Since then, several improvisation and modifications have been incorporated to quantify the environmental impact evaluation of different projects (Ştefănescu et al., 2013; Villacreses et al., 2017; Amirshenava and Osanloo, 2019; Arani, 2021) Revised Leopold matrix and fuzzy method are used in impact assessment of a housing project in Iraq and impact scores estimated from the matrix method is compared with fuzzy method resulting in a difference of 28 % (Asadollahfardi et al., 2018). While considering the solid waste management of an Iranian city, the various waste management aspects were taken into consideration in the impact evaluation, which was carried out by methods using rapid impact assessment matrix and modified Leopold matrix (Valizadeh et al., 2018).…”

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an important tool that identifies impact parameters, qualitatively and quantitatively predicts and evaluates the anticipated adverse and beneficial impacts. It then suggests mitigation measures and if possible alternative action. Therefore, EIA becomes mandatory for almost every planning and development processes. This paper makes analysis of the large‐scale polluting industrial processes of steel, power, and cement. It uses EIA study and consequent Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that includes elaborate mitigation measures and peripheral development. Ideally, the complete waste utilization with optimum use of resources and energy can be implemented by the industry and the same is very often mandated by regulatory authorities. The quantitative evaluation of impact by using modified Leopold matrix is separately carried out to compute total impact score (TIS) in each case. Obviously the TIS value in case of EMP with incorporation of social issues and waste utilization comes out to be a net positive value of 2218.3 offsetting the case without these issues, with a resultant high negative value of 5983.5. Sustainability aspect of the project is considered with economic, environmental and social aspects along with waste management aspects, in order to justify the viability of the project.
