What is the purpose of an EA?
The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) details three purposes of an EA in its Forty Most Asked Questions as follows: 1) Briefly provide sufficient evidence and analysis to determine whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS); 2) Aid an agency’s compliance with NEPA when no EIS is necessary (i.e. it identifies alternatives and mitigation); and 3) Facilitate preparation of an EIS when one is necessary.
