Your organization will determine the environmental aspects. Determine also the environmental impacts related with each aspect. An organization may have the same environmental aspect but different environmental impacts. For example, wastewater discharging may be into a river with or without any treatment – very different environmental impacts.
In your instruction you can consider if there is applicable legislation and if it is met or not. If it is not met it is a significant aspect. If it is met, you can apply more evaluation items to define priorities. For example – frequency/probability (normal, periodical, abnormal) – Consequences for the environment (minor, medium, major). These are the two more common topics. However, you add more topics like economic impact, interested parties relevance.
