This technical guide, the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) by Environmental Policy, published in 2012, delves into the management of environmental power through EIS. It covers two generations of NEPA application, focusing on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implications. The document is designed for students and practitioners of environmental policy, offering a science-based evaluation perspective on environmental and health policies, underpinned by an ethical position on the environment and accountability. Its methodology involves the analysis of real case studies, providing practical insights into the application of environmental policy.
This comprehensive technical guide serves as an essential resource for understanding and navigating complex environmental regulations. It details key aspects of EIS, including its scientific basis, ethical considerations, and legal framework, particularly within the context of NEPA. The manual aims to equip readers with the knowledge necessary to effectively manage environmental impact assessments, fostering a deeper understanding of accountability and sustainable practices. Its detailed analysis of case studies and focus on relevant legislation makes it an invaluable tool for professionals and academics in the field of environmental policy and planning.
This book is about a subject that Michael Greenberg has worked on and lived with for almost forty years. He was brought up in the south Bronx at a time when his neighborhood suffered from terrible air and noise pollution, and domestic waste went untreated into the Hudson River. For him, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was a blessing. It included an ethical position about the environment, and the law required some level of accountability in the form of an environmental impact statement, or EIS.
After forty years of thinking about and working with NEPA and the EIS process, Greenberg decided to conduct his own evaluation from the perspective of a person trained in science who focuses on environmental and environmental health policies. This book of carefully chosen real case studies goes beyond the familiar checklists of what to do, and shows students and practitioners alike what really happens during the creation and implementation of an EIS.
