An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS, DEIS = Draft EIS, FEIS = Final EIS) in the environment context is a comprehensive document that assesses the potential environmental effects of a proposed project or action. It is a critical component of environmental planning and decision-making processes, used primarily to inform government agencies, stakeholders, and the public about the environmental implications of major federal projects or actions. An EIS evaluates both the positive and negative environmental effects and outlines measures to mitigate adverse impacts.
