environmental impact report (EIR)

Read a random definition: boycott

A quick definition of environmental impact report (EIR):

An environmental impact report (EIR) is a document that tells people about the possible effects a project might have on the environment. It explains what could happen to things like the air, water, and land around the project. The report also talks about ways to make the project better for the environment. The goal of the report is to help people make good decisions about the project before it starts.

A more thorough explanation:

An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is a document that provides information about the potential environmental effects of a proposed project. This report is usually required by law and is intended to inform the public and decision-makers about the potential impacts of a project before it is approved.

The EIR identifies and describes the potential environmental effects of the proposed project, as well as any feasible alternatives and mitigation measures that could be taken to reduce those effects. For example, an EIR might analyze the impact of a new housing development on local wildlife habitats, air quality, and traffic congestion.

The purpose of an EIR is to provide decision-makers with the information they need to make informed decisions about whether to approve a project, and if so, what conditions should be placed on its approval. By identifying potential environmental impacts and proposing mitigation measures, an EIR can help ensure that a project is designed and implemented in a way that minimizes harm to the environment.

Overall, an EIR is an important tool for protecting the environment and ensuring that development projects are carried out in a responsible and sustainable manner.
