Relationship between the Environmental Impact Assessment Law and the
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinances.
Although the EIA systems introduced by local governments have a very important role in
protecting the environment, the procedures under the Environmental Impact Assessment Law and
those under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinances of local governments overlap. Requiring
both procedures would often be extremely burdensome.
Therefore, the Environmental Impact Assessment Law contains provisions related to the EIA
systems of local governments to prevent overlap of procedures based on the Environmental Impact
Assessment Law.
