NEPA is a play that encapsulates the mind of Oluyanju a lead character in the play. He is so disturbed about the problem of power outages in his country. Even his happiness, consequent upon a granted visa, was short-lived when in the middle of a toast to his success, electricity ceases. This leaves him boiling with anger from within wondering why this act should persist in his country at this time and age. The country has everything practically required to make electricity function maximally but where they get it all wrong in spite of the availability of all variables beats him hollow. The food morsel he eats, enters his wind pipe and he goes into coma. He lives another life, re-lives his aspirations as regards NEPA.

A tool for predicting environmental impacts, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) can also be used to predict the impacts of natural disasters and potential terrorist attacks. This book demonstrates how to use NEPA as a framework to support decision-making. It includes examples that demonstrate how NEPA can be efficiently integrated with other processes such as ISO 14001, P2, and Adaptive Management. It provides proven tools, techniques, and approaches for streamlining NEPA and environmental planning strategies that reduce the potential for controversy and criticism. It is the first text that covers recent changes to NEPA and the new CEQ guidance expected to be issued.

Although upwards of 50,000 environmental assessments (EAs) are prepared annually—compared to some 500 environmental impact statements (EISs)—the focus of U.S. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations is on defining requirements for preparing EISs. Written by Charles Eccleston and J. Peyton Doub, who have established themselves among the top environmental experts in the world, Preparing NEPA Environmental Assessments: A User’s Guide to Best Professional Practices fills the need for an authoritative and comprehensive guide on how to prepare EAs. Bridging the regulatory gap, this book identifies relevant EIS regulatory requirements that can be logically interpreted to also apply to EAs. It compiles and synthesizes information scattered throughout NEPA’s regulations, executive orders, and guidance documents, and incorporates case law to provide additional clarification. The authors also draw on the professional experiences and best professional practices (BPP) of NEPA practitioners. From the fundamentals to more advanced topics, the book presents a consistent methodology to help beginners, students, and professionals manage, analyze, and write legally sufficient EAs. It addresses dilemmas that have traditionally plagued preparation of EAs, provides BPPs, tools, and approaches for resolving problems, and introduces methods for streamlining the EA process. Building on Eccleston’s previous guide to EAs, Effective Environmental Assessments: How to Manage and Prepare NEPA Assessments (2001), this book reflects the rapid changes in government policy over the past ten years. An indispensable source of practical information, it provides readers with step-by-step direction and best practices for preparing defensible EAs.

Environmental Analysis reviews information gathered during NEPA assessments, summarizes the state of the art in methods and approaches, and defines future opportunities and new approaches required to link high-quality science to the decision-making process. Individual chapters address the process itself, present examples of recent experience with ecological impact assessment, evaluate social impact assessment and the important role the public must play, discuss the difficult challenge of assessing cumulative effects of multiple impacts, consider the regional and global implications of NEPA, and examine the important role of follow-up studies in the process. The authors of the 59 individual papers comprising this book represent the major sectors that have been key participants in the decision-making process from the beginning. These sectors include academia, national laboratories, federal agencies, state agencies, private industry, and foreign nations. Environmental Analysis will be interesting reading for environmental scientists, engineers, policy makers, and lawyers in government and academia; private consultants; and non-government environmental organizations.
