Environmental Impact Report

Encyclopedia : E : EN : ENV : Environmental Impact Report

An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a document required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It describes a particular project location in its existing setting, describes the impacts which a project will have on the environment both on and adjacent to the property, and proposes mitigation measures.

It is similar to an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) as required by the NEPA.
