Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide indexing, organizing, storing and/or retrieving of environmental information regarding a proposed environment-modifying project, including information about an environment-modifying natural event or construction project (“project”); a natural, constructed or socioeconomic feature in the area of the project (“setting”); a change to the setting brought about by the project (“impact”); or a feature designed to ameliorate a potential environmental impact of the project (“mitigation”). The environmental information is indexed with metadata that may be hierarchically organized and made available to a reviewer in a controlled vocabulary or a user-defined vocabulary.

Abstract: A method for electronically planning, evaluating, representing and communicating environmental information about site characteristics and the impact of proposed activities, through visualization, modeling and/or decision support modules, which support the shared public and private evaluation of project alternatives for improved environmental management decisions. In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for providing an electronic environmental project document comprises the steps of receiving project information regarding an environmental project, indexing the information by attaching metadata, providing a document preparation guide in response to the project information, receiving information requested in the document preparation guide, preparing an electronic environmental project document and employing software to visualize, model and/or provide decision support.

Abstract: A method for electronically planning, evaluating, representing and communicating environmental information about site characteristics and the impact of proposed activities (including visualization, modeling and decision support modules) in a manner that supports the shared public and private evaluation of project alternatives for improved environmental management decisions is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. In an embodiment of the present invention, a method for providing an electronic environmental project document comprises the steps of receiving project information regarding an environmental project and providing a document preparation guide in response to the project information. Information requested in the document preparation guide is received and an electronic environmental project document including the information is published.
