Impact evaluation implementation

The National Environmental Policy Act was passed in 1969 and signed into law on January 1, 1970, as public law 91-190 (now found in 42 U.S.C. 4321-4370c). It was, and still remains, the first federal statute that required agencies to evaluate the impact of implementing major programs and alternatives in the early planning stages. This approach makes it the first, truly proactive environmental law. There are two titles in NEPA. Title I contains the declaration of National Environmental Policy while Title II establishes the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). 

Many types of program evaluation exist. For example, Rossi, Freeman, and Lipsey (1999) distinguish between the following types of program evaluations needs assessment, process evaluation, impact evaluation, cost-benefit or cost-effectiveness analysis, and targeting accuracy evaluation. We focus on the three most common types of evaluations of safety net programs process (or implementation) evaluation, assessment of targeting accuracy, and impact evaluation. Evaluations of cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness are also helpful, but are rare so not treated in depth here (see box 6.4). 

Classical ion trajectory computer simulations based on the BCA are a series of evaluations of two-body collisions. The parameters involved in each collision are tire type of atoms of the projectile and the target atom, the kinetic energy of the projectile and the impact parameter. The general procedure for implementation of such computer simulations is as follows. All of the parameters involved in tlie calculation are defined the surface structure in tenns of the types of the constituent atoms, their positions in the surface and their themial vibration amplitude the projectile in tenns of the type of ion to be used, the incident beam direction and the initial kinetic energy the detector in tenns of the position, size and detection efficiency the type of potential fiinctions for possible collision pairs. 

Evaluation. The evaluation of each idea should iaclude a technical description as well as its economic impact and technical risk. Ideas should be ranked for implementation. A report should provide a five-year framework for energy projects. 

Another interesting aspect of this requirement is that the implementation of changes is to include updates to all appropriate documents. This means that the impact of a customer change order on your internal documents needs to be evaluated and the corresponding changes made to all affected documents. This should be performed as part of the change review process (see later in this chapter). 

Evaluate Effectiveness on the Basis of Outputs and Acceptance Once the system has been implemented on its chosen site, its effectiveness needs to be evaluated at frequent intervals so that corrective action can be taken in the event of problems. The first criterion for success is that the system must generate unique insights into the causes of errors and accidents, which would not otherwise have been apparent. Second, the system must demonstrate a capability to specify remedial strategies that, in the long term, lead to enhanced safety, environmental impact and plant losses. Finally, the system must be owned by the workforce to the extent that its value is accepted and it demonstrates its capability to be self-sustaining. 

The second step and the focus of this chapter was to evaluate the emission load of individual foods from the list of most common foods. There was used the simplified Life Cycle Assessment method in which only the Climate change Impact category was assessed. Detailed description of the LCA methodology is shown in the literature review, the following text describes practical method implementation.Food emission load evaluation using the LCA method... 

Based on the investigations, potential improvement actions are listed and evaluated regarding the financial impact on the EVA, costs and effort of implementation, and potential risk. This results in a prioritization of the improvement actions. 

On-line or on-site toxicity evaluation is a great challenge due to the complexity of measuring the different impacts (from trouble from to death of organisms) of several substances, the effect of which is often increased by synergy. Furthermore for wastewater, toxicity monitoring must be implemented in several locations raw sewer, treatment plant or discharge point. Toxicity can be eval-... 

Analytical change control is the monitoring of any changes to analytical methodology, which has to be justified and evaluated for its performance and impact on the quality of the product. For process analytical methods, the change control approach requires significant documentation and can impede the efficient optimization of the method in the early phases of implementation if parameters have to be locked down based on an insufficient data set.
