Weblinks
Examples of Environmental Impact Statements
The web links to the EISs below were active at the end of August 2011. These EISs are for a range of projects in a range of countries. They are typical EISs that give an indication of the format, level of detail and range of information that is included in EISs. They do not necessarily represent particularly good or bad practice.
EISs are live planning documents, and many have only a short Web lifespan, so the web links may no longer work when you try to access them. To find other EISs, try a Google search for 'environmental statement', 'environmental impact statement' or 'environmental impact report'.
