Environmental Impact Statements

Extensively revised and updated, Environmental Impact Statements, Second Edition covers all the requirements for a wide variety of Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) on the federal, state, and local levels, including a chapter devoted to Environmental Justice. It provides a thorough explanation of EIS so that the personnel responsible for preparing these documents can understand and teach others the fundamentals of a wide range of environmental factors - ecological and socioeconomic - that comprise an EIS. This may be the only place that an understandable explanation of the EIS process is located together with a detailed description of how to do an EIS.
