Abstract

Abstract: "Excellent EIA leaders are the superior communicators". Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) at its heart is a practical tool for evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, taking into account inter-related socio-economic, cultural and human-health impacts, both beneficial and adverse. The main objective of this EIA report is to indicate the positive & negative impacts of the civil engineering project during its construction and to identify whether the projects are developing under the normal path as per the work schedule or not and also to suggest the mitigate measures to overcome any of the adverse impacts to the environment. The likely impacts of any proposed / on-going construction projects can be examined by compiling and assessing the multi-disciplinary information under EIA. In the current EIA study, an on– going building construction activity is undertaken to assess all the necessary information for the insight judgment and prediction on how effectively the project is proceeding, and to highlight all the major positive and negative impacts upon the on-going project; and finally to conclude the mitigative measures to overcome the negative impacts, in general. Keeping this as a keen view in mind, the study was conducted at On-going project in Ambo University Referral Hospital site, Ambo, Ethiopia. The data were collected through the structured questionnaire and all the major factors were analyzed, compiled and screened out.
