“…As indicated in the Introduction section, EIA, and Risk Assessment (RA) have a similar procedural framework. Subsequent to the publication of the European Directive 2014/52/EU, different proposals for the consideration of RA in the EIA process have appeared, but EIA and RA processes are still rarely used to complement each other, despite the potential benefits of such integration [29].…”

“…Once the 45 techniques included in [18] have been analysed, and after the selection of five techniques described in this article, future works can consist of the development of some of these techniques with the suitable purpose. In line with this approach, some authors have recently published works that explored the application of some of these techniques in the context of EIA [29]. In particular, authors have developed a method to facilitate the application of the Consequence/Likelihood Matrix for the EIA process of construction projects in Slovakia, but, as its authors indicate, it could be arranged for any other country considering national conditions, requirements, standards, and legislative.…”

“…Although the identification of environmental risks is a relatively new research field (EU Directive is from 2014), different authors have proposed methods to address the environmental risks within the environmental impact assessment process [28,29]. Nevertheless, there is little published about the convenience of the techniques identified as risk assessment techniques to identify and evaluate the environmental risks arising during the EIA process.…”

Design, implementation, and operation of any project are affected by the environment where it is developed; at the same time, the project will influence the environment, since during its life cycle it can cause an impact on it. This impact can lead to social, economic, and environmental results. Directive 2014/52/EU, on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment, reflects the obligation for the project promoter to consider, in the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) of the project, their vulnerability (exposure and resilience) to major accidents and/or disasters, evaluating both the risk and their effects on the environment, in case these major accidents and/or disasters appear. The IEC 31.010:2019 Risk management—Risk assessment techniques standard defines 45 risk appreciation techniques that are useful when analysing the risks, in general. The objective of this paper is to review these 45 techniques, and establish which ones can be used for the assessment of accidents or disasters required in the specific environmental impact assessment process to accomplish with the regulation. After the revision, the authors propose five risks appreciation techniques that could be used for the assessment of major accidents and or disasters in projects for which EIA has to be carried out.

“…The current situation is complicated by the fact that there is no space in the village's built-up area to increase the discharge capacity of the stream. The Lukavica stream bed is not able to cope with increased discharges at values of Q 2 (2-year return period) up to Q 5 (5-year return period), not to mention Q 10 (10-year return period) at 28 m 3…”

“…An EIA involves detailed examination of the likely and foreseeable impacts of the proposed activity on the environment and on the health of the population [2]. An EIA is based on detailed analysis of the expected and other potential impacts on individual components of the environment and the population, such as the water, soil, air, climate, flora and fauna, including the landscape and cultural and historical heritage [3]. In other words, an EIA is an ancillary planning activity aims to identify, predict and assess the impacts of the proposed actions and development projects on the environment and especially the population [4][5][6].…”

The most appropriate method to protect settlements and economically important sites from flood hazard, is the implementation of flood protection measures in stream catchments and protected localities, which contribute to reduce the peak flow and distribution of the flood wave over a longer period of time. If such measures are not realistic or ineffective, it is necessary to focus on flood protection directly on the area of the protected side or its vicinity. Where the lag time between the flood threat detection and actual flood onset is short, one possible measure is to increase the capacity of the watercourse, very often in combination with other flood mitigation measures in the protected area. The engineering approach to flood protection is the subject of many scientific research studies. Permission for flood protection structures depends on their environmental impact assessment (EIA), according to Law no. 24/2002 Coll. on Environmental Impact Assessment in the Slovak Republic, annex no. 8 (list of activities subject to EIA). Based on the EIA, it is possible to select the best alternative of flood protection, i.e., the alternative with the lowest risk impact on the environment. This paper aims to analyse the flood protection measures along the Lukavica stream (central Slovakia), applying hydraulic models. The best alternative with the lowest impact on the environment, assessed using the risk analysis method, consists of detention reservoir construction. An effective combination of environmental impact assessment and hydraulic modelling contribute to the selection of an effective flood protection measure in the territory.
