| Abstract | The evaluation of the impacts is one of the most important aspects in any Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), because it states the most relevant impacts that need to be controlled in order to ensure the protection of the natural resources. The procedure used to evaluate the impacts need to be specific for the project under study and need to be as clear and accurate as possible. The procedure presented in this paper is used at the geothermal electrical sector in Costa Rica and can be used in any project. |
