Features: This book is co-authored by experts from multiple departments, including the Environmental Protection Center of the Ministry of Transport, the Research Institute of Highway Science and Technology of the Ministry of Transport, and the Tianjin Research Institute of Water Transport Science of the Ministry of Transport, who have many years of experience in environmental impact assessment (EIA) of transportation construction projects. The book provides some commonly used laws, regulations, policies, and other relevant information for EIA work in the transportation industry. It introduces distinctive evaluation methods in the industry by combining the latest highway and port environmental evaluation specifications. Twelve typical EIA cases completed by relevant units have been selected, representing a balance in terms of regional planning EIA, project EIA, and environmental protection acceptance; a balance in terms of different types of engineering such as roads, bridges, tunnels, ports, rivers, and new construction or expansion projects; and a balance in terms of different types of environmental conditions across various regions of the country. The selected EIA cases primarily consist of reports, with some also being report forms, each highlighting specific aspects such as ecology, water environment, or noise environment. To facilitate reader learning, the book also features "Expert Comments" provided by experts for each case, aiming to guide readers in analyzing common issues and development trends in similar projects and environmental documents, as well as evaluating relevant technical methods.
