Engineering Report/Environmental Information Document
Preparing the Engineering Report/Environmental Information Document
- The Engineering Report/Environmental Information Document (ER/EID) is a planning document that should identify project needs, evaluate alternatives for addressing those needs, and assess environmental impacts.
- After receiving a Letter of Intent to Fund, begin preparing the ER/EID using the guidance and forms below.
- Be sure to submit the ER/EID by the deadline included in your Letter of Intent to Fund.
- A substantial change to the project scope after approval of the ER/EID may require an amendment to the ER/EID.
- Be sure to include the Submittal Checklist with initial submittals of an ER/EID or ER/EID amendment.
- The division will review the ER/EID and provide comments and/or request for additional information or revision.
- After the ER/EID review is complete, the division will issue an approval letter and environmental document for the project.
