An Environmental Impact Study - also referred to as an "EIS", is an evaluation of the potential environmental impact associated with an activity such as a development proposal.
EIS's generally include mapping of vegetation communities and habitat according to the Ecological Land Classification (ELC) system. Vegetation communities boundaries are plotted on recent aerial photographs or topographic maps to illustrate the distribution of habitats and their ecological relationships.
Example community types are presented by these photos...
