How to Obtain a Copy of an Environmental Impact Statement

This page contains information for individuals who would like to get a copy of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

To obtain a copy of an EIS you can:

• Visit EPA's EIS Database which contains an electronic version of all EISs published since October 1, 2012.
• Contact the preparing agencies "contact person" which is listed in EPA's EIS Database.
• Contact the Northwestern University Transportation Library
  One of the largest collections of EISs is available from Northwestern University's Transportation Library. Nearly all of the EISs issued by Federal agencies since 1969 are held, usually including both Draft and Final EISs. While Northwestern University Transportation Library has one of the nation's largest EIS collections, it does not own every EIS.
