This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While United States conservation efforts began more than one hundred years ago, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was the first law to focus environmental concerns within a comprehensive national policy. NEPA's call for "productive harmony" between "man and nature" presaged today's interest in "sustainable development." On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the act, the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) initiated a NEPA Effectiveness Study to examine NEPA's effectiveness and prospects for improvements to the NEPA process. CEQ included in the Study organizations and individuals who are knowledgeable and experienced in the application of NEPA, both those who support NEPA, and those who are critical. The findings of this Study can be summarized as follows:The Study participants felt that NEPA's most enduring legacy is as a framework for collaboration between federal agencies and those who will bear the environmental, social, and economic impacts of agency decisions. However, Study participants also stated that frequently NEPA takes too long and costs too much, agencies make decisions before hearing from the public, documents are too long and technical for many people to use, and training for agency officials at times is inadequate.The participants in the NEPA Effectiveness Study identified five elements of the NEPA process that are critical to its effective and efficient implementation.

This is most often called theNEPA process. The need for this book arises because, although the awareness for faithful implementation of NEPA has now matured, the method of NEPA implementation is not always known, and hence, needs to be clearly laid out for the benefit of project engineers and the decision makers in government and industry. This book aims to do that.

Orr, Oberlin College What has been achieved since the National Environmental Policy Act was passed in 1969?

The roles of Congress, the President, and the courts in the implementation of NEPA are analyzed. Professor Caldwell also looks at the conflicted state of public opinion regarding the environment and conjectures as to what must be done in order to develop a coherent and sustained policy.
