NEPA: Understanding the Basics
This event qualifies for 1.5 CLE
Get practical advice to avoid common mistakes so that you can prepare useful and legally compliant NEPA documents.
Since 1970, the National Environmental Policy Act has been the cornerstone for environmental protection in the United States. To implement NEPA, federal agencies must prepare environmental impact statements or environmental assessments to study the impacts of their proposed actions. Unfortunately, some federal agencies, their consultants and affected citizens do not fully understand the regulations, legal interpretations and practices for properly complying with NEPA. Thus, there are many mistakes in implementing the law. This live webinar will identify some of the most common mistakes made under NEPA and reveal the best ways to avoid them. You will get practical advice for preparing useful and legally sufficient NEPA documents. This live webinar is critical for federal agency staff, consultants working for federal agencies and others interested in the NEPA process.
