Description An environmental impact statement (EIS) is a comprehensive scientific evaluation that helps Washington agencies, applicants, and the public fully understand the likely, significant, and adverse environmental impacts of a project. It also analyzes if those impacts can be reduced or eliminated by exploring reasonable alternatives and mitigation measures that would minimize environmental impacts.
