- Research Proposal: Environmental Impact Assessment
- Description: The extent to which project level impacts predicted/assessed in Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) were realized when the chosen action was implemented is virtually unknown. The purpose of this research is to monitor post-implementation environmental impacts in order to measure them against pre-implementation predicted/assessed environmental impacts. Recent project level EIS's will be selected (perhaps can be representative of the diversity of geography, project type and agency) to measure post-implementation impacts against pre-implementation predictions. The monitoring program developed could be adapted to many agency NEPA procedures and the results/data could be used to better inform new project documentation and decisions within the NEPA process. In addition to discussing the idea for the research, I would like to ask the WG members their thoughts on different methodological approaches as well as ways they may be willing to help with the project.
