What are the next steps after the MIS?
The figure below illustrates the steps that need to take place before construction can begin. There are many steps that need to be taken between the MIS and actual construction. The MIS is the first step in a process that can take many years to become a reality. After the MIS is completed, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is initiated to evaluate the social, environmental and economic impacts associated with proposed improvements. After the EIS is completed and the design is finalized, construction can begin after funding sources have been identified.
