The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires Federal agencies to perform a study to identify how a project can inadvertantly affect the environment.

Environmental impact statements (EISs) are prepared in regards to major Federal actions that significantly affect the quality of the human environment. An EIS is a full disclosure document that details the process through which a transportation project was developed, includes consideration of a range of reasonable alternatives, analyzes the potential impacts resulting from the alternatives, and demonstrates compliance with other applicable environmental laws and executive orders.
