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.
ER/EID Guidance
- The guidance below is specific to the CWSRF, DWSRF, WW-SRP, DW-SRP, and CDBG-I programs. Before preparing ERs/EIDs, please bookmark this page and check it for any updates, which will be shown to the right of the file. Each project type will have its associated appendix below it.
- ***NEW*** The Division has updated its environmental review procedures for the State Revolving Fund. These procedures will better serve those seeking funding through the SRF program. Please review these documents and contact your project engineer if you have any questions. These environmental changes are for Engineering Reports/Environmental Informtion Documents due in December 2021. Letters of Intent to Fund for these projects were issued on August 2, 2021.
