Description
Introduction
Projects which, by their nature, size or location, are likely to have significant impacts on the environment or human health are subject to an environmental assessment according to criteria and thresholds defined by regulation (see below the appendix to article R122-2) and, for some of them, after a case-by-case examination by the environmental authority (Ae)
Environmental assessment: concept
The environmental assessment is a process consisting of the development, by the project owner,
When a project is subject to a case-by-case examination, the environmental authority receives a file presenting the project from the project owner in order to determine whether it should be subject to an environmental assessment.
However, when the project consists of a modification or extension of activities, installations, works or structures that fall under the authorizations provided for in articles L. 181-1, L. 512-7, L. 555-1 and L. 593-7, the project owner submits the file to the environmental authority. This authority determines whether this modification or extension must be subject to environmental assessment.
Projects, plans and programs subject to case-by-case assessment
A list of the categories of projects, plans and programs that must undergo an environmental assessment has been established:

Environmental assessment: concept
The environmental assessment is a process consisting of the development, by the project owner,
- of an environmental impact assessment report, hereafter referred to as the "impact study",
- the realization of consultations :
- the public ;
- transboundary, if applicable.
- the examination, by the authority competent to authorize the project, of all the information presented in the impact study and received within the framework of the consultations carried out and from the project owner.
- the population and human health ;
- biodiversity, with particular attention to species and habitats protected under Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 and Directive 2009/147/EC of 30 November 2009
- land, soil, water, air and climate;
- material assets, cultural heritage and landscape;
- the interaction between the factors mentioned in 1° to 4°.
Impacts on the factors listed include impacts that may result from the vulnerability of the project to major accident hazards and disasters relevant to the project concerned.
When a project consists of several works, installations, structures or other interventions in the natural environment or landscape, it must be considered as a whole, including in the case of splitting up in time and space and in the case of multiple project owners, so that its environmental impacts are assessed as a whole.

- plans and programs subject to an environmental assessment after a case-by-case examination: see II of article R122-17 of the Environmental Code
