Does the overall format of the eis meet the requirements
Case Study: Environmental Impact
Search the Internet for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) that has been written in your local area. If one is not present in your local area, expand your search to include your county or state. Note: You are not required to read the entire EIS. These can be several hundred pages. However, you should briefly review the EIS and address the following concerns below in a two- to four-page paper:
• Describe the proposed project.
• Does the overall format of the EIS meet the requirements discussed in Environmental Impact Assessment: A Practical Guide? Does the EIS address each of the main chapter categories (i.e., transportation, energy, air quality, noise, public safety, and water resources)? If not, what sections are missing that should have been addressed?
• Addresses the alternatives. How many were originally proposed? How many were ruled out due to other constraints? Of those remaining, briefly discuss the preferred alternative.
Your paper should include an introduction with a developed thesis statement to set up the paper as well as a concluding paragraph that sums up your discussion. Additionally, your assignment must be two to four double-spaced pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style .
You must reference the EIS being discussed as well as your text to provide sufficient detail of the topics listed above.
