EIA (Environmental Impact Statement)

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a document that assesses the potential effects of a proposed project on the environment. It is required by law for certain projects, helping decision-makers and the public understand how construction, development, or other activities might impact air quality, water resources, wildlife, and ecosystems. The EIS outlines the project's purpose, considers alternative options, and suggests ways to minimize negative impacts. By providing a thorough evaluation, the EIS aims to promote informed decisions that balance development needs with environmental protection.
