EIS Process

The EIS, or Environmental Impact Statement, process is a structured evaluation used to assess the potential effects of proposed projects on the environment. It ensures that decision-makers consider environmental factors before approval. Typically, the process involves several key steps: initial planning, public scoping to gather input, the preparation of a detailed report analyzing environmental impacts, and public review. Finally, the findings lead to a decision on whether the project can proceed, possibly with mitigation measures to lessen negative impacts. This process aims to promote informed decision-making and environmental stewardship.
