Baseline Environmental Assessment

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Geology Marine surveys
For a marine survey pls see below thanks. I've translated this so far as an evaluación medioambiental de referencia (as basically they need to get information ab the area before they can actually drill / install a platform and then come up with another evaluation so this refers to the prill-drill data but I'm not totally sure, help much appreciated thanks) There may be another technical and widely used term for this. Refs appreciated

Hola Pablo, With my comment, I didn't mean to rule out the possibility of previous impacts, only to clarify that baseline refers to the condition at the start of the project, whatever that may be. As far as "previa" is concerned, it seems to me that "previa" is modifying "evalucion" in your example, implying (and please, correct me if I am wrong) a previous evaluation rather than an evaluation of the existing (or previous) condition.
Pablo Cruz Feb 11, 2014:

Me parece quizá una distinción excesivamente sutil, el comienzo del proyecto es siempre el estado 0 o previo. En ningún sistema se va a encontrar que los impactos previos son estrictamente cero.
En cuanto a lo del impacto, lo he puesto entre paréntesis porque suele ser la expresión normal en español, lo dejo pues abierto.
Dicho esto, tu opción me parece también perfectamente válida.
Un saludo!
Barbara L Pavlik Feb 11, 2014:
Actually, now that I think about it, I would tend to disagree with evaluación previa, and especially the (de impacto) part, because baseline implies that you are assessing the environmental condition before anything has taken place to make an impact (this isn't strictly always the case; there may have been some previous impacts, but what is being assessed is the environmental condition at the beginning of the project), so it's not necessarily about impact, but about a background condition.

estudio de referencia ambiental /

There are many ways of expressing this idea. Here are some more options. Pablo's suggestions is also good. My second suggestion (evaluación línea de base ambiental) was used in the titles of the source documents for several Columbian reports that I recently translated.
