WSSI provides staff experienced in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and regulations, and a variety of agency-specific NEPA guidance and requirements. WSSI NEPA experts have managed several large and complex Environmental Assessments (EAs), numerous smaller EAs and Categorical Exclusions (CEs), and been major contributors to Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for multiple federal agencies and third parties.
We have worked on numerous locally administered projects (LAP) and have extensive experience with the State Environmental Review Process (SERP) and the Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) required for state-funded projects. Our portfolio covers a range of clients and activities, from transportation to drinking water, communications, and military projects.
We have navigated a variety of federal environmental laws that integrate with NEPA projects, including Clean Water Act §404, Endangered Species Act §7, National Historic Preservation Act §106, Department of Transportation Act §4(f), Land and Water Conservation Fund Act §6(f), and Executive Order 12988: Environmental Justice.
Scoping is a critical part of NEPA, and we work to identify potential environmental issues early so they can be adequately addressed. WSSI can efficiently and effectively identify what level of NEPA documentation and public involvement are appropriate for a project and we are experienced in preparing NEPA documents that are easily readable by the public while being technically accurate and legally defensible. We understand the importance of NEPA approvals and schedule in the big picture of a project’s success.
