Identify the types of impacts and effects that might be addressed in an analysis of environmental impacts.

What will be an ideal response?


Federal and/or state regulations may require that the environmental
impacts of proposed projects be assessed. These impacts may include effects on
air quality, noise levels, water quality, wetlands, and the preservation of historic
sites of interest.
The analytical process through which these effects are identified can take
one of three forms, depending on the scope of the proposed project: a full
environmental impact statement (EIS), a simpler environmental assessment (EA),
or a cursory checklist of requirements known as a categorical exclusion (CE).

He took a deep interest in everything that went on in the store—from the welfare of the cash boys, to the exact wording of the linen department's advertisement for the week. He stayed in his office until long after the store closed each night, yet was one of the first to

arrive in the morning. He never criticized workers in the presence of customers or other clerks. On his trips through the store he always stopped to talk with customers. Any customer, whether her mission involved a small purchase or one that ran into the thousands of dollars, was assured a personal interview if she desired it. When a shipping clerk alerted him that Field's was no longer shipping merchandise to some of the customers they used to, he set up a task force that determined many of the reasons why these customers had stopped shopping at Field's. Through their efforts, changes were made that returned customers to the store. There was but one test for the success or failure of changes implemented: they had to bring profits.
