Considering the Environmental Impact of Development

Selecting the appropriate level of documentation for NEPA services, based on the environmental impact and the complexity of the project, is critical to success. WithersRavenel has the expertise to make this determination.
The NEPA Process
Our staff guide clients through selecting and evaluating alternatives. This process includes evaluating the environmental effects and mitigation requirements. We obtain and address feedback from the public, stakeholders, and regulatory agencies.
Our clients receive peace of mind that NEPA requirements have been met on their roadway, intersection, sidewalk, greenway, and multi-use trail projects.
Examples of our offerings include:
- Categorical Exclusion. Some projects receiving federal funding will not have a measurable environmental impact. WithersRavenel can help clients quickly navigate the categorical exclusion process to keep development on track.
- Environmental Assessment. WithersRavenel’s multidisciplinary team of professionals will analyze a range of factors from wetlands to traffic to pollution and submit a draft assessment. We will continue to work with you should compliance or modification be required.
- Corridor Analysis. A full analysis of the transportation corridor affected by a proposed project can yield valuable information to inform not only traffic projections but also reveal environmental data pertinent to the NEPA process.
We have professionals who specialize in helping communities navigate the ins and outs of NEPA documentation.
