ENV 333 Week 4 Assignment Environmental Impact Statements

Case Study: Environmental Impact

Search the Internet for an 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 run several hundred pages. 

Address the following. 

• Briefly 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)
• Look at the alternatives. How many were originally proposed? How many were ruled out due to other constraints? Of those remaining, briefly discuss the preferred alternative.
• Discuss your overall impression of the specific EIS as well as the EIS process.

The paper must be two pages in length and formatted according to APA style. Cite your resources in text and on the reference page. For information regarding APA samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar, in your online course.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
