Abstract
According to research studies Ð''Environmental Protection Act' serves various goals and purpose in providing people a better way of living in many aspects of human life such as in business relating to housing and manufacturing industries which could provide a certain degree of positive and negative impacts in dealing to such matter of truth. It is an environmental protection act respecting pollution prevention and the protection of the environment as well as human health in order to contribute to a sustainable development in housing and manufacturing industries and that such act could also provide those said impacts not only positively but also negatively.
Positive Effects
Environmental Protection Act provides appropriate positive effects in the integration of environmental considerations and immediate policies into housing and manufacturing industry policy that involves a fundamental issue concerning the type of sustainable development that is foreseen in a lot of ways. There is the application of socio-environmental development with efficient economic and environmental policies to meet business as well as human needs and that one can avoid putting much emphasis on economic growth and industrial growth indicators and place the major accent on social and environmental goals. (http://egj.lib.uidaho.edu/egj12/laquatra1.html). In such context, technological change and sustainable industrial policies become significant driving forces of the environmental development per se.
The said environmental protection act was developed to achieve national environmental sufficiency through improving the environmental situation in countries in which business industries play a major role in sustaining their economic status rather than spoiling the remaining patches of sound environment by means of bringing polluting industries thereunto. Furthermore, it may also contain a description of environmental impact assessment, risk management techniques, economic instruments and regulatory approaches, as well as environment valuing techniques indicating essential and useful advantages as well as other important aspect. (http://www.epa.gov/region5/defs/html/ppa.htm).
Negative Effects
The Environmental Protection Act can imply too much implementation of its rules and regulations that will amicably produce certain negative changes in business such as in housing and manufacturing industries that will have a slight negative effect on the economic growth (http://www.sdearthtimes.com/et0700/et0700s6.html). The challenge is to integrate the conservation of the environment with growth in national, regional and local economies in such business and with the provision of land housing and industry premises for manufacturing in business development.
Excessive responsibility for the environmental act to meet such standards could be a problem and is not solely focus on preserving the government that will be of great factor for having such business in the field of housing developments and manufacturing industries. Businesses can undertake development responsibly in a short time and would not be able to use natural resources according to sustainable principles of the environment act. This in particular means of recognizing high environmental as well as the social and economic benefits and costs that could not help in further development in business. (http://www.sdearthtimes.com/et0700/et0700s6.html). The act empowers authorities to require an assessment for specified developments if they give rise to significant environmental effects while they are mandatory for a smaller number of business projects. In situations where the planning authority decides a formal comprehensive planning which is not warranted on the grounds that the underlying issue will not give rise to significant environmental effects and be able to request environmental information including where appropriate the impact on housing developments and that other techniques which assess the environmental capacity may also be irrelevant to establishing the environmental issues and facts in lieu to business in the housing and manufacturing industries.
Endangered Species
The presence of endangered species is a major threat and disadvantage to certain business in lieu to housing and manufacturing industries as it is harmful to the human nature and the balance of ecosystem as well as the environment will be affected and will change some natural ways in the systematic order of things and that these kind of species may destroy and cause temporary damage to the complete environment composition that indicates the state of balance in everything such as in the field of business industries. The Endangered Species Act can have a profound effect on housing development since, it explicitly prohibits take of a listed species and can even limit development when take does not occur if the government deems the project to be on essential. (Rachlinski et al, 2005)
There are situations that housing developments and its environment are being destroyed outright by the
