# Environmental Impact Analyzer Skill

## Purpose

The Environmental Impact Analyzer Skill assesses environmental impacts including NEPA requirements, wetland impacts, and endangered species screening for civil engineering projects.

## Capabilities

- NEPA checklist generation
- Wetland impact assessment
- Endangered species screening
- Air quality impact analysis
- Noise impact assessment
- Mitigation measure recommendations
- Cultural resource screening
- Environmental justice analysis
