I welcome section 20, which deals with EIA screening. It is targeted at areas where flood relief measures are needed, including repairs to river banks. The system at present requires a lot of bureaucratic applications to numerous Departments and State agencies and this gives an opportunity for a screening and consent process to a planning authority or relevant State agency.
