Environmental Auditing

NEMA reviews annual environmental audit (EA) reports submitted by businesses and other listed facilities under the Environmental Impact Assessment/Audit regulations, 2003. We issue improvement orders to proponents who have not met specific environmental requirements. Initially, facilities are required to submit an initial audit undertaken by a NEMA authorized environmental expert. Thereafter, facilities may conduct self audits.
