Valutazione di Impatto Ambientale V.I.A. e Valutazione di Incidenza Ambientale
Environmental Impact Assessment = Valutazione di Impatto Ambientale
I've been looking all day but still can't come up with a viable translation fo 'incidenza ambientale'.
IATE has no entry for 'incidenza ambientale', although I have noticed that bilingual EU documents translate both types of assessment as 'Environmental impact assessment', which I can't do as they are listed on the same invoice.
I'm hoping someone can help me out :)

VALUTAZIONE D'INCIDENZA AMBIENTALE
La procedura di valutazione di incidenza ambientale è una delle disposizioni previste dall’articolo 6 della Direttiva 92/43/CEE per garantire la conservazione e la corretta gestione di siti di importanza comunitaria
http://www.studiobartucci.it/via4.htm
Guardando la versione EN e IT di quello direttivo (articolo 6, comma 3) si trovano due traduzioni diversi, 1) effect e 2) implication (forse in quei giorni la parola "impact" non era così alla moda.
3. Qualsiasi piano o progetto non direttamente connesso e necessario alla gestione del sito ma che possa avere *incidenze* significative su tale sito, singolarmente o congiuntamente ad altri piani e progetti, forma oggetto di una opportuna valutazione *dell'incidenza* che ha sul sito, tenendo conto degli obiettivi di conservazione del medesimo. Alla luce delle conclusioni della valutazione *dell'incidenza* sul sito e fatto salvo il paragrafo
3. Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site but likely to have a significant *effect *thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans or projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of its *implications* for the site in view of the site's conservation objectives. In the light of the conclusions of the assessment of the *implications* for the site and subject to the provisions of paragraph

Comment: "Good one, thx Jim. I read through the EN directive and used this translation. Gets quite a few UK hits too (as does Assessment of Environmental Implications)."

Environmental impact assessment
In my humble opinion "incidenza" and "impatto" can be used interchangealby. They both translate into "impact"in English.
Note from asker:
| Hi and thx for answering! I came to the same conclusion - the terms are used interchangeably - but only in English. In Italian the terms refer to different, albeit similar, assessments. I'll refer it back to my client but hopefully someone comes up with a valid alternative! |

Environmental Probability Assessment
La *Valutazione d'Impatto Ambientale* è una procedura tecnico-amministrativa di verifica della compatibilità ambientale di un progetto, introdotta a livello europeo con la Direttiva CEE 337/85 e integrata recentemente con la Direttiva 11/97CE. Essa è finalizzata all'individuazione, descrizione e quantificazione degli effetti che un determinato progetto, opera o azione, potrebbe avere sull'ambiente, inteso come insieme delle risorse naturali di un territorio e delle attività antropiche in esso presenti.
La *valutazione d'incidenza ambientale* è il procedimento di carattere preventivo al quale è necessario sottoporre qualsiasi piano o progetto che possa avere incidenze significative su un sito, singolarmente o congiuntamente ad altri piani e progetti e tenuto conto degli obiettivi di conservazione del sito stesso.
In other words the VIA is the impact on the environment
the *incidenza* is the probability that that action will occur.
Buon lavoro (it sounds like something I am working on for the EU)

Environmental Incidence Assessment
low because I'm not really sure, but here are a couple of examples - I agree, it would largely seem to be interchangeable
Aquatic Preserve staff and the committee discussed potential issue categories and
suggested four broad areas under which issues could be developed.
1) Loss of Natural Community Function and Species Diversity
2) Water and Watershed
3) Public Use and Sustainability
4) Environmental Incidence Assessment and Response
The group then discussed several topics and developed strategies under the four broad
categories listed above.
Discussions on loss of natural community function and species diversity lead to the development of several objectives and strategies that must be included in the
management plan.
http://www.dep.state.fl.us/coastal/sites/mosquito/plan/2007-...
www.iclg.co.uk - Environment Law
If the projects relate to renewable energy sources and are not specifically provided for in the EIA Law, they require another kind of environmental assessment – an environmental incidence assessment - if they are situated in sensitive areas such as Ecological Reserves; Protected Areas or “Rede Natura” areas. A licence or authorisation in respect of any of the projects mentioned without obtaining or contrary to a prior environmental decision would be null.

appropriate assessment
La Valutazione di Incidenza Ambientale in Italia è il risultato dell'applicazione della direttiva europea 92/43/CEE.
L'applicazione della stessa direttiva, dell'articolo 6, in Inghilterra ha come risultato l'appropriate assessment.

Environmental Aspect Assessment (EAA)
"The various environmental aspects each have a number of different impacts on the environment. Potential impacts must also be identified."
...or else just use a noncommittal "preliminary environmental assessment". It would usually come before an Impact Assessment, to see whether it's worth doing.

...then again as Marco says, incidenza is 'impact', e.g.:
La Direttiva Habitat introduce una particolare procedura denominata “Valutazione di Incidenza” quale misura di conservazione obbligatoria. Tale normativa prevede, in caso di interventi sul territorio, la stesura di una relazione sull’incidenza ambientale, per quantificare il possibile ***impatto*** dell’opera e proporre misure di mitigazione o compensazione.

So, I really need another term and 'incidence' just doesn't cut it ...
