National Environment Policy Act (NEPA) Compliance Experts

Successfully navigating a project through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process can be an extremely expensive, long-duration, and complicated procedure. Alternatively, with proper management the NEPA process can be expedited and reasonably predictable. Utilizing an environmental consultant that has extensive experience with the various NEPA processes can save both time and money, but of equal importance, we ensure the proposed activity will be given proper and fair consideration during NEPA review. Steigers Corporation possesses the experience and skills to develop NEPA programs suited for each individual project that will result in reasonable cost, the requisite environmental compliance, and a favorable outcome for the client.

Systems for Navigating the NEPA Process

Steigers Corporation staff have managed and executed numerous NEPA projects ranging from large Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) for complex and controversial projects to routine Environmental Assessments (EAs) for minor federal actions. Steigers has experience working as an independent third-party contractor in completing NEPA compliance tasks, including preparation of EAs, EISs, and supporting NEPA documents. Alternatively, we often serve as the project’s direct representative in the NEPA process. As the project’s representative, we develop a specific program that guides the framework of the NEPA analysis while working to prevent the NEPA process from becoming a vehicle to derail or delay a project.
