Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
An EIS begins with the Notice of Intent which is a formal announcement that the EIS is underway. It initiates a process called scoping that includes public and agency input.
The Draft EIS provides a detailed description of what is being proposed and presents analysis of anticipated beneficial and adverse environmental affects of the alternatives.
The Final EIS addresses comments made by the public and agencies on the Draft EIS and identifies a preferred alternative.
The Record of Decision presents the basis for the decision, identifies all the alternatives considered, specifies the "environmentally preferable alternative," and provides information on the adopted means to avoid, minimize and compensate for environmental impacts.
