(1) If it is required to make some revision in the physical infrastructure, design or form, transfer or alter the structure of any project of which the environmental impact assessment report has been approved pursuant to Section 7, add the forest area or
increase the capacity of the project, the proponent shall make a supplementary environmental impact assessment in order to ascertain whether the operation of such work causes adverse impacts on the environment or not, and whether such impacts can be done away with or mitigated by any means or not.

Provided that where the concerned body has given order to the proponent to submit a supplementary environmental impact assessment report, the proponent need not make an application.
(3) If the content is found reasonable upon inquiring into the application received pursuant to sub-section (2), the concerned body may give permission for a supplementary environmental impact assessment study as prescribed.
