The NEPA pendulum continues to swing and SWCA continues to be on the cutting edge of the next phase of implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) under the 2025 administration. Federal agencies have recently published their respective interim NEPA procedures as mandated by the current administration. Interestingly, all of them lean heavily on the Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County Supreme Court decision. This decision granted agencies deference as to what they feel is required to meet the requirements of the NEPA and has important implications for how Federal agencies determine the needs for each unique NEPA process. SWCA continues to interface with agencies in real time to best implement their new procedures while meeting required timeframes and ensuring the defensibility of the agencies’ decisions. As part of this course, SWCA will discuss how agency deference is being implemented in the day-to-day NEPA processes and potential implications for your specific project. As always, SWCA will outline practical implementable tools you need to meet all agency and administrative requirements while writing NEPA documents that are clear, concise, and defensible. And you can learn this from the comfort of your own home or office. The course is highly interactive and includes break-out workshops facilitated by instructors where you will work on a real-world example project from kick-off to final decision.
This NEPA training course is specifically structured to respond to changes in NEPA that mandate completion of NEPA projects within aggressive, truncated schedules and page limits. It was developed by SWCA after years of training federal agencies on how to develop efficient and effective issue-based NEPA documentation.
This course is limited to 30 participants.
