An environmental impact statement EIS under United States environmental law is a document required by the National Environmental Policy Act NEPA for certain actions "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment". An EIS is a tool for decision making. It describes the positive and negative environmental effects of a proposed action and it usually also lists one or more alternative actions that may be chosen instead of the action described in the EIS. Several U.S. state governments require that a document similar to an EIS be submitted to the state for certain actions. For example in California an Environmental Impact Report EIR must be submitted to the state for certain actions as described in the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA.
