National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 1969

  • Compliance required for federal funding eligibility
  • Full range of reasonable alternatives, including

“no-build” alternative, must be considered

  • Comprehensive environmental review (avoid,

minimize, mitigate impacts)

  • Public involvement
  • Formal documentation/disclosure

NEPA PROCESS

NEPA/404 Merger Meetings at Key Milestones

slide-21
SLIDE 21
  • Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) involves stakeholders

in the project development process

  • CSS reflects the project surroundings – its “context”
  • CSS addresses all aspects of a project:
  • Safety and mobility
  • Community
  • Environment
  • Usability
  • Multimodalism

CONTEXT SENSITIVE SOLUTIONS

slide-22
SLIDE 22
  • Understand

stakeholders’ key issues and concerns

  • Involve stakeholders

SLIDE 24
  • Framework for stakeholder

involvement

  • Identifies roles and

responsibilities of participants
