ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSESSMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ESTATE PROVIDING WITH MANAGERIAL PROCESS

At thi s study, an environmental impact assessment establi shment of Shahzand Industrial Estate in Arak at the cent ral part of Iran was investigated. After collec tion of data and analysis of the findings, the positive and negative impacts resulted from establishme nt of the industrial estate were investigated, using the Leopold Matrix and Scaling checkl ist methods providing the managerial solutions in orde r to minimize the environmental harmful impacts. The existing environmental situation was investigated and then enviro nmental impact altern atives were determined. This was done reg ardin g to the amount and kind of predicted pollutions for industri al estate at the construction and operat ional phases. The environmental impact assessment of the investigated estate was studied at the three term s of immediate, direct and indirect impact s at th e short, medium and long term . By expand ing of Leop old Matrix to four parted matrix, in addi tion to amount, importance and extend of the impacts, the remaining duration of impact in the environment wer e assessed as a separate factor in environmental impact assessment. The results of the study with two alternativ es, such as; No (performance of the project with no concern for environmental issue) and as yes (performance of the proj ect with application of the environmental harmful impac ts) were studied in construction and operation phases. The impact assessment of NO property resulted (-106 5), therefore the execution of project was rejected, but after redu cing the harmful impact performance which were resulted (+1095) has been accepted. There fore, method of reducing harm ful environmental impacts along with environmental management programs introduced and accepted in this study.
