NEPA strategies & analyses
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance can feel complex and time-consuming—but when approached strategically, it becomes a powerful tool for advancing responsible, defensible projects. I help agencies, organizations, and project teams navigate evolving NEPA policy and implementation requirements, ensuring your environmental documentation is thorough, efficient, and aligned with current federal guidance.
With recent changes to NEPA regulations and expanded use of categorical exclusions, there are new opportunities to streamline review timelines and stay within page limits—without sacrificing analytical integrity. I work with you to determine the appropriate level of review, apply categorical exclusions where defensible, strengthen environmental analyses, and prepare clear, legally sound documentation. The result is a smoother path from planning to implementation, helping you move good projects forward while maintaining compliance and reducing risk.
