Raba-Kistner’s environmental professionals are specialists in preparing National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation.

We understand the importance of public involvement and complete and open disclosure of findings. We are versed in producing Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), Environmental Assessments (EA) and Categorical Exclusion (CE) documents consistent with federal and state laws, agency regulations and procedures. Our team’s combined practice of more than 40 years demonstrates a successful record of NEPA-compliant documents.

NEPA services have been key major federal actions considered likely to have a significantly effect on the environment. We have established working relationships with several agencies.

• U.S. Department of Agriculture

• Federal Highway Administration

• Immigration and Naturalization Service

• Texas Water Development Board

• U.S. State Department

• International Boundary and Water Commission

• Federal Aviation Administration

• Veterans Administration

• Texas Public Utility Commission

Our team also addresses environmental planning and technical documentation issues raised by projects under jurisdiction of state and local counterparts to federal agencies. These projects range from roads and bridges to rail initiatives, utility corridors, and airports. Our team represents clients at public hearings and coordinates meetings with agency staff. Technical reports are prepared to document NEPA criteria including historic resources, flood plains, wetlands, prime farmland, endangered plant and animal species, migratory bird patterns, and many other natural and cultural resources.

NEPA has been amended several times since its enactment and a number of other laws have established their interlocking or overlapping requirements. We have the technical experience and in-house services in natural and cultural resource issues to satisfy the range of NEPA criteria.
