NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA)Public outreach begins with the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process.

NEPA requires agencies to integrate environmental values into their decision-making processes by considering the environmental impacts of their proposed actions and reasonable alternatives to those actions.

As a part of NEPA, the Section 106 Process seeks to accommodate historic preservation concerns by identifying historic properties potentially affected by the project, assess the effects and seek ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects on historic properties.

NEPA also includes public involvement activities and gathering feedback from the public
