California EIS Data Compilation - US/Europe Based only due to download restrictions for Overseas
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Project Details
$30.00 – 250.00 USD
Project Overview
I need assistance downloading and organizing all publicly available Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) relevant to the State of California. These EIS documents are published by agencies such as the EPA, BLM, USACE, FHWA, and Caltrans. The goal is to build a comprehensive dataset of these files — covering the Bay Area, Los Angeles, the Central Valley, and Southern California — that can later expand into a nationwide project (all 50 states). I estimate the full California dataset will include around 400+ PDF files, sourced directly from official government websites.

Include Draft, Final, and Supplemental (SEIS) versions whenever available.
Deliverables:
All available EIS PDF files related to California (federal + state level).
Metadata spreadsheet (Excel preferred) with columns for:
EIS Title
Agency (e.g., BLM, Caltrans, USACE)
Year Published
URL Source
Geographic Focus Area (if listed)
Organized folder structure:
/California_EIS/
/Federal/BLM/2024/
BLM_DesertRenewableEnergy_FinalEIS_2024.pdf
/Federal/USACE/2023/
USACE_LAHarbor_FinalEIS.pdf
/State/Caltrans/2022/
SR710_North_FinalEIS.pdf
EIS_Metadata.xlsx
README.txt
README file summarizing sources, methods, and naming conventions.
Requirements:
Locate and download all publicly available EIS and SEIS PDFs relevant to California.
Verify each file's relevance and official source (.gov or agency site).
Organize files consistently by Agency → Year.
Upload all files to a shared folder (Google Drive or Dropbox).
I will provide a public upload link — no personal email needed.
Additional Notes:
The metadata sheet should be in Excel (.xlsx) format.
Document size or page count may be added as optional fields.
This project will serve as the foundation for a 50-state EIS dataset, so I'm seeking someone interested in a long-term partnership once California is complete.
The ability to provide a small sample (5–10 California EIS files + sample metadata) before full execution is preferred.
