摘要

A method (Fig.12a) for electronically planning, evaluating, representing and communicating environmental information about site characteristics and the impact of proposed activities (including visualization (1307), modeling (1306) 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 (1302) regarding an environmental project and providing a document preparation guide (1304) in response to the 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 (1308). In an embodiment of the present invention, the steps are performed by software stored in processor readable memory of a processing device coupled to the Internet.
