National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)

BB&K has extensive experience in dealing with issues presented by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Our attorneys assist both private and public agency clients through the entire NEPA procedural process and document preparation, as well as through any subsequent litigation. We are also quite experienced with litigating against public entities that have failed to comply with NEPA.

Our attorneys are skilled at reviewing and preparing notices of exemption, environmental assessments, and findings of no significant impact (FONSIs). We are also experts at writing and editing Environmental Impact Studies to fully comply with NEPA's requirements. If a legal challenge should arise, we are skilled in the procedural and substantive intricacies of litigating a NEPA case.

BB&K is also proficient at understanding the interplay between NEPA and other environmental statutes, including the State and Federal Endangered Species Acts, the California Environmental Quality Act, and the State and Federal Clean Water Acts.
