The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process is intended to help the general public and government officials make decisions with the understanding of the environmental consequences of their decisions, and take actions consistent with the goal of protecting, restoring, and enhancing the environment. These Regulations provide the directions to achieve this purpose. In addition, these Regulations are designed to: (a) Integrate the EIA process into early planning of projects to insure timely consideration of environmental factors and to avoid delays; and (b) Identify at an early stage the significant environmental issues requiring further study and de-emphasize insignificant issues, thereby defining the scope of the EIA.
