EIA’s evaluate the impact of a project on the environment. It is a comprehensive review of the impact on the ecosystem. If the EIA is too bad, a project can get scrubbed. The US Bureau of Land Management has a really good manual telling how to conduct these. They are time consuming, subject to public review and can cost a developer several thousands to perform. EMPs are comprehensive management plans for the day to day operations of a facility or industry.
