    Description
    This course examines the "CEQA process" with particular emphasis on Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), which are used as a means to identify, assess, mitigate (as feasible), and then publicly disclose the significant environmental effects of certain proposed projects (both public and private) as required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Case studies involving local projects are presented along with an examination of corresponding CEQA documents, including EIRs. It also explores job and career opportunities associated with CEQA/Environmental Impact Assessment and Reporting.
