What is NEPA?
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 mandates federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions prior to making decisions. In addition, many states have enacted local adaptations of NEPA, generally referred to as SEPA. These require the preparation of detailed statements assessing the environmental impact and alternatives of proposed actions, as specified under Title I of the Act.
What is an EIA?
An environmental impact assessment is used to evaluate the environmental consequences of a proposed project or development. This assessment sees that potential environmental impacts are identified, predicted, evaluated and mitigated before decisions are made and before projects are carried out. For international projects, the EIA is a key component due to the complexity and scale of potential impacts that can cross national borders.
ECS is well-versed in the EIA requirements of the US and various countries and can support projects around the globe.
