The Environmental Risk Assessment Report is a mandatory document required under Nigerian environmental law for projects that may have significant environmental impacts. It is specifically required by the Environmental Impact Assessment Act 1992 and various NESREA regulations. The report provides a systematic evaluation of potential environmental risks, their magnitude, and mitigation strategies. It must be prepared by qualified environmental professionals and typically includes baseline environmental data, risk analysis, impact predictions, and management plans. This document is crucial for obtaining environmental permits and approvals from Nigerian regulatory authorities and demonstrates compliance with environmental standards and regulations. The scope and depth of the Environmental Risk Assessment Report vary depending on the project's nature, scale, and potential environmental impacts.
