What is an EIS?
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a government report mandated by U.S. law since 1969. It describes how a large-scale proposed project, such as a highway, dam, or power plant, would affect people and the environment. This archive gathers 200+ of them and turns dense federal paperwork into something you can actually browse, search, and read.
