This book provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of the environmental impact statement (EIS) process and the environmental law that must be understood in order to prepare a credible EIS. It contains a thorough description of the entire EIS process including a lead agency's decision to prepare an EIS, publication of the notice of intent in the Federal Register, scoping, preparation of the draft EIS, public hearings, preparation of the final EIS, and publication of the agency's record of decision in the Federal Register. This new second edition has been revised to include expanded chapters on environmental assessment and risk assessment, a brief section on Internet sources, and other improvements to make the text current.

Poor Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) practice leads to poorly planned projects, and ultimately poor environmental protection. Written by recognized NEPA authority Charles H. Eccleston, The EIS Book: Managing and Preparing Environmental Impact Statements supplies focused direction on preparing an EIS, highlighting best professional practices (BBP) and lessons learned from case law that provide valuable direction for preparing legally defensible documents. The book is not about preparing bigger or more complicated EISs—but better ones. Beginning with fundamental topics and advancing into successively more advanced subjects, Eccleston describes EIS preparation as a comprehensive framework for planning future actions, rather than merely a document preparation procedure. He supplies direction for preparing defensible analyses that facilitate well-planned projects and improved decision-making. Discusses EIS document requirements including the Council of Environmental Quality’s NEPA regulations and related guidelines, EPA guidance and requirements, presidential executive orders, and case law Covers how to perform a legally sufficient cumulative impact assessment and how to evaluate greenhouse emissions and climate change Details a step-by-step approach for navigating the entire EIS process that includes all pertinent process requirements from issuing the notice of intent, through public scoping, to issuing the final record of decision (ROD) Includes analytical requirements for preparing the EIS analysis and guidance for performing various types of analyses Provides tools, techniques, and best professional practices for preparing the EIS and performing the analysis Presents a case study that reinforces key EIS regulatory requirements, and integrates lessons learned from this case study with appropriate regulatory requirements The book gives readers a firm grasp of the process for preparing an EIS, including all key regulatory requirements that a legally sufficient EIS document must satisfy. No other book synthesizes all such requirements and guidance into a single source for easy and rapid access.

"The I-94 East-West Corridor study area is from 70th Street to 16th Street, a distance of about 3.5 miles. This corridor has safety issues, closely spaced interchanges, a combination of left-hand and right-hand exit and entrance ramps, and deteriorated pavement. As traffic increases, safety and traffic operations on this corridor will continue to deteriorate. By 2050, increased traffic volumes will cause nearly this entire section of I-94 to operate at level of service D to F during peak periods. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was approved in 2016. The Final EIS evaluated the social, environmental, and economic impacts of the No-build alternative and a range of Build Alternatives, as well as the extent to which these alternatives address the project's purpose and need. WisDOT and FHWA prepared a Supplemental EIS to incorporate the most up-to-date data, updated environmental regulations, changes to the alternatives, and public and agency input since the 2016 Final EIS."-- Abstract.
