What is an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)?

How can the public be involved?
Before an EIS can be finalized, it must be released in draft form for public review and comment. These comments are collected and addressed in the final version of the EIS. Read the draft EIS.

The official comment period ended Dec. 8 at 4 p.m.
