	Environmental impact statement Summary
		Although litigation over impact statements can have a decisive influence on a wide range of decisions in government and business, the legal status of these reports and the legal force of the NEPA itself are not as strong as many environmentalists believe they should be.
		The statement would have to be enormously complex; it would have to consider a range of economic as well as environmental factors, projecting the course of economic development in Mexico before predicting the impact on the environment.
		An environmental impact assessment is often confused with an Environmental Impact Statement, but it is not the same thing.

	environmental impact statement. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Federal-level environmental impact statements are written by any federal agency on its own behalf or on behalf of a state, local, or private concern that it regulates or funds.
		A draft statement is submitted to concerned government agencies, especially the Environmental Protection Agency, and to the public for consideration.
		In some cases litigation arises from environmental groups who want to block a project or from parties who feel that the assessment overstates the risks to the environment to the detriment of economic interests.

	Environmental impact statement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) whenever the U.S. Federal Government takes a "major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment" it must first consider the environmental impact in a document called an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
		Contrary to a widespread misconception, NEPA does not prohibit the federal government or its licensees/permittees from harming the environment, but merely requires that the prospective impacts be understood and disclosed in advance.

	Environmental Impact Statement Process
		The environmental impact statement process is defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq.).
		If the assessment finds a potential for impact, a more detailed comprehensive environmental impact statement must be done prior to implementing the federal action.
		The environmental study process includes public scoping meetings, the selection of a range of reasonable alternatives, evaluation of the alternatives, preparation of a draft environmental impact statement, and concludes with a record of decision.

	Environmental Impact Statement for the Yangtze Three Gorges Project (1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In 1980, YVWRPB submitted an environmental impact statement for the 200m normal pool level (NPL) option of the Project, and soon afterwards implemented the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the Project in the feasibility study stage for 150m NPL option.
		In January 1988, "The Verification Report on the Environmental Impact of the Three Gorges Project and Its Countermeasures" was proposed, and its major conclusions were later incorporated into "The Feasibility Study Report of the Three Gorges Water Resources Project on the Yangtze River" compiled by CWRC in May 1989.
		For example, the possibility of oncomelania diffusion, and the impacts on fishes and terrestrial vertebrate were analyzed and predicted using an ecological mechanism analysis; the impact on landscapes was analyzed and predicted using methods such as qualitative description, computer simulation for the water level and the landscape pictures.

		By failing to include a careful examination of the potential threat of noise to health, the FAA is obviously in violation of the Noise Control Act of 1972 which was written to protect Americans from the dangers of noise.
		Whereas the human ear reacts to sound through processes that involve the ear and parts of the temporal lobe of the brain, it is the added interpretation by higher centers in the brain that deem the incoming sounds to be wanted or annoying, pleasant or unpleasant; thus transforming sounds into noises.
		The FAA Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Proposed Runway 5l/23R of the Piedmont International Airport is grossly inadequate and should be denied for not including a critique of the growing body of literature that addresses the relationship between noise and physiological and psychological health.

	About the personal environmental impact statement
		One of our geocentric training exercises is for each of us to do a personal environmental impact analysis, to explore our own impact on the Earth and to identify some feasible and sustainable ways in which we might lighten that impact.

		The impacts of such stochastic events must not be disregarded simply because they are perceived as "external." Catastrophic natural events may be unpredictable, but they certainly are not unanticipated or unforeseen.
		According to the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the proportion of the planning area in NRF and foraging/dispersal (FD) habitat under the proposed plan will reach maxima of 26% and 35% respectively during the 50-year planning period.

		This is especially true in environmental affairs, where the law of the land actively promotes worker and citizen "right-to-know" about toxic pollution, and gives citizens the tools to effectively act as a check and balance not only on industry, but on the governmental bodies charged with keeping an eye on industrial pollution.
