What Is an Environmental Feasibility Study?

An environmental feasibility study is a preliminary analysis of the land where a project is intended to be developed, evaluating physical and environmental factors that could affect its viability. It includes identifying natural hazards, legal restrictions, and geological conditions, ensuring that the site complies with current environmental legislation before any investment is made.

Importance of Environmental Feasibility

Environmental feasibility is key to complying with regulations and avoiding future legal or economic conflicts. Assessing the site from the beginning helps ensure it is viable—even before purchase—preventing investment in restricted areas.

Factors That May Limit Project Feasibility

• Protection zones around wells and springs.
• Setback requirements from rivers, streams, the sea, and roads.
• Location in or near Protected Areas (ASP).
• Forest cover.
• Natural hazards (floods, geological faults, landslides, proximity to volcanoes).
• Water availability.
• Hydrogeological vulnerability.
• Land use according to zoning plans.
• Geotechnical conditions.
• Presence of wetlands or water bodies.
