An environmental impact assessment is a study conducted to evaluate the potential effects of a proposed project on the environment. It involves analyzing factors such as air, water, soil, wildlife, and community impact.
EIAs help regulatory agencies determine whether a project should proceed and under what conditions. They aim to minimize negative environmental consequences through careful planning and mitigation measures.
An EIA is typically required for projects that may significantly affect the environment, such as large construction developments or industrial activities. Local and federal laws specify when assessments are necessary.
In Missouri, project developers should consult with legal counsel early to determine if an EIA is mandated and to understand the specific regulatory requirements that apply.
The timeline for an EIA varies depending on the project’s complexity and the scope of environmental effects involved. Assessments can take several months to complete, including public comment periods and agency reviews.
