Review the section on Natural Resources in Ch. 25. 1. When must an environmental impact statement be prepared? 2. What are the specific items that it must discuss? 3. Why would these items enable the EPA and other agencies to determine whether the project should move forward? What kind of information does the EIS give the EPA and developer that is important to their decision making? Go beyond, "It'll help the EPA to protect the environment." Consider the objectives of the EPA and the developers. 4. Note that the EIS can be very time consuming and expensive. How should cost and time needed to get the permit be a factor? Give some thought to this question. Do not just repeat the opinions of the textbook authors. I want your thoughts
