Projects
Projects are proposed actions that are analyzed through the NEPA process:
- Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
- Environmental Assessment (EA)
- Categorical Exclusion (CE)
During the analysis process different alternatives to the proposed action are evaluated and the public is involved and provided opportunities to weigh in on our proposal and analysis. Project analysis and decision may be subject to an administrative review process – objections or appeals.
Once the analysis is complete a decision can be issued:
- Record of Decision (ROD) for an EIS
- Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and Decision Notice (DN) for an EA
- Decision Memo (DM) for a CE)
Once a decision is made the project can then be implemented on the ground.
The Projects below are projects that we are analyzing or have analyzed under the NEPA process at the regional level.
