NEPA
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that all Federal agencies take into account
the effects of their undertakings on environmental, historic,
and cultural resources, and afford the public reasonable
opportunity to comment on such undertakings.
NEPA requires that a Federal agency and its agents
assess an undertaking’s effects on wilderness areas and
preserve, threatened or endangered species, critical
habitats, flood plains, natural resources, wetlands, and
human health. Section 106 requires that an undertaking’s
potential adverse effect on sites, districts, structures, and
landscapes of historical or cultural significance be taken
into consideration. In addition, these regulations require
particular attention be issued to the undertaking’s effect on
Native American religious sites.
TARMETTO is experienced with the inspections and
reporting required for NEPA and Section 106 Regulations.
