Environmental Impact Statements (EIS)

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a document required by law for projects that may significantly affect the environment. It assesses potential impacts such as pollution, habitat destruction, and effects on local communities. The EIS process involves research, public input, and analysis of alternatives to mitigate negative consequences. It helps decision-makers, such as government agencies and developers, understand the environmental ramifications of a proposed project and enables the public to be informed and involved in discussions about developments that could impact their surroundings.
