This dataset is part of INSROP project II.5.10 - Environmental Impact
Assessment.
Project supervisor: Jørn Thomassen, Norwegian Institute for Nature Research.
For the EIA purpose impact factors have been identified on the basis of coarse
described INSROP activities or scenarios, and corresponding impact hypothesis
have been described and evaluated through a categorisation in four categories.
A. The hypothesis is assumed not to be valid.
B. The hypothesis is valid and already verified. Research to validate or
invalidate the hypothesis is not required. Surveys, monitoring, and/or management
measures can possibly be recommended.
C. The hypothesis is assumed to be valid. Research, monitoring or surveys is
recommended to validate or invalidate the hypothesis. Mitigating measures can be
recommended if the hypothesis is validated.
D. The hypothesis may be avlid, but is not worth testing for professional,
logistic, economic or ethical reasons, or because it is assumed to be of minor
environmental influence only or insignificant value for decision making.
In INSROP phase II, a re-evaluation of all impact hypothesis were done. Only
hypothesis in category B and C are listed and brought further to the analysis of
impact assessments.
