you could also possibly say "environmental report" but then you would be repeating the word "report" from the previous query.

Environmental impact statement seems to be more common.

There are two documents: the EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) and the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement)

Yes, I know about the EIA and the EIS. However, I think a "Statement" is one thing and a "statement" is another. I'm sorry, but I think the word "document" is far more common in Spanish than in English and I always try to think of a better word. A statement simply states facts and in this case the facts need to be supplied to whoever has asked for them. Although "document" is not incorrect, it could refer to a document that asks for information, provides information, etc.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Nodi, those are different kinds of reports. Environmental Impact Assessment = Estudio de Impacto Ambiental ; Environmental Impact Statement = Declaración de Impacto Ambiental Thanks for your help, anyway
