Transportation projects listed in route development plans and corridor management plans that use Federal funds must meet the requirements of NEPA. Typically, the NEPA assessment is conducted after the planning process has been completed and the transportation project is in the design phase. If the NEPA assessment uses data gathered during the planning process, it will help eliminate duplication and produce more seamless project planning.

The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires that state agency and local government plans and projects that might have an impact on the natural or built environment be assessed for environmental impacts. The process of assessing impacts is very similar to the NEPA process.

The National Environmental Policy Act directs federal agencies to consider the environmental consequences of their actions. All federal agencies are to prepare environmental impact documents that assess the potential negative impacts of proposed federal development activities. Like SEPA, Federal agencies are to provide state/local officials and the public the opportunity to comment on their assessment of the potential impacts of their actions.

NEPA does not apply to the independent actions of states or private property owners. It has no applicability to a private property owner?s use or development of his or her property rights.

The terms of the conservation easement, not NEPA, are what govern the future management of the property.

Property owners would no longer pay the general levy of the school district that they are currently in, but would now pay the LPS general levy.

All energy development proposals on the Public Lands undergo extensive environmental reviews prior to approval. When energy companies propose in their drilling permit applications to drill in an environmentally sound manner using BMPs, the government and public environmental review process is much easier, and goes more quickly.
