Engineers and scientists in this division evaluate the impact of a proposed project on environmental conditions. They apply scientific and engineering principles to evaluate whether there are likely to be adverse impacts on water quality, air quality, habitat quality, flora and fauna, and agricultural potential, and traffic impacts, To study social impact, environmental impact, noise impact, visual impact. Effects, etc. If impacts are anticipated, they develop mitigation measures to limit or prevent such impacts. An example of a mitigation measure is the creation of nearby wetlands to reduce wetland fill necessary for road development if rerouting the road is not possible.
