Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If some environmental impacts cannot be mitigated, an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) must be prepared. The purpose of an EIR is to provide detailed information about the significant adverse impacts of a project that cannot be avoided, reduced or adequately compensated for, and to identify alternatives to the project. This information is used by the decision-makers to evaluate the potential impacts and make a decision about whether to approve or deny the project.
