Will the firm be required to file an Environmental Impact Statement prior to proceeding with the development? Explain.

Yes, the firm Vali Associates Inc. is required to file an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) before going on with the development of the land to their desired spot. In the United States, the NEPA requires that federal agencies file the Environmental Impact Statement (EIP) for any major environmental impact project or legislative proposal. An EIS requires a federal agency to consider the impacts, including air, waters and ground pollution, on the environment of the proposed project; the disruption of ecosystems; the overuse of shared water, fisheries; minerals, forest and agricultural resources; habitat disturbances to endangered species; and health threats. The document does not, in itself, preclude federal authorities from polluting and otherwise threatening the environment or human health while the EIS encourages an organization to communicate the environmental effects of its project before construction or development begins. Thus, based on the above discussion and facts Vali Associates Inc. is required to file and EIS with the respective federal agency to get the work permit from the respective government.
