Environmental Impact Reports (EIR)

Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) are documents that assess the potential effects of a proposed project on the environment. They evaluate factors like air quality, water resources, wildlife, and community health. EIRs aim to identify any negative impacts and suggest ways to mitigate them before a project is approved. They serve as a tool for decision-makers and the public, ensuring transparency and informed decisions regarding development, such as construction or land use changes. This process helps balance progress and conservation, ensuring that the environment is considered in planning future projects.
