NEPA analysis and documentation

Complying with the National Environmental Policy Act and state “mini-NEPAs” requires an interdisciplinary team that understands current environmental impact regulations and the underlying human environmental sciences.

We have performed analysis and documentation of anticipated environmental impacts for a wide range of proposed actions, including linear projects, water and wastewater development projects, towers and antennas, distribution facilities, wildlife management plans, and federally funded manufacturing facility expansions. Our experience in cross-cutting regulations and interdisciplinary approaches allows us to create understandable, rational, and defensible evaluations.

Our NEPA team is experienced adapting its approach to meet any Federal agency implementing regulations. Because each agency is unique, we apply our corporate focus on regulatory compliance with our NEPA experience to quickly adapt to agency-specific requirements, nuances, interpretations, public participation, and document review and approval strategies.

NEPA analyses often require specialized or esoteric expertise, due to the variety of proposed actions addressed under NEPA. To provide this expertise and maintain maximum flexibility, we maintain a network of independent scientists and technical experts. This approach allows us to combine our in-house NEPA staff members with carefully selected specialists, to quickly assemble projects teams that are well-suited for the proposed action under evaluation. The lowered cost of this approach translates directly to lower project costs.

Aarcher has performed impact evaluations on behalf of local communities, State agencies, and the Environmental Protection Agency. We have also supported Federal grant and loan applicants in preparing environmental assessment documents (EADs) that address a wide variety of proposed construction, development, and facility expansion efforts.
