Environmental Impact Assessment System of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government

An Environmental Impact Assessment (Environmental Assessment) system is a framework to estimate and minimize the possible impact that a proposed project will have on the environment. Prior to a decision being made on a major development project, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is conducted to estimate and evaluate the likely in uence the project may have on the environment and review how to minimize the impact. The result of the assessment is made open to the public and comments are invited from local residents and relevant municipalities. It is also reviewed from the expert’s point of view.

Pollution and loss of the natural environment may impair people’s health and comfort. Sometimes it is difcult to restore the original natural environment. To preserve a sound natural environment, it is important to put proactive and preventive measures into effect, including the EIA system.

Since October 1981, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has implemented environmental impact assessment procedures before making decisions on projects larger than a certain scale, in accordance with the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance. The procedures are designed to ensure that such projects incorporate reasonable considerations on the prevention of pollution, preservation of the natural and historical environment, and maintenance of the landscape.

In July 2002, TMG revised the ordinance to specify that an environmental impact assessment procedure must be followed in the planning phase for projects larger than a specied scale. Basic Procedures Required in the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance
