Document:
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) are the preeminent laws requiring environmental analysis of a project’s impacts before its approval.
Both require governmental agencies to carefully study, document, and share with the public the environmental impacts of a project before deciding to approve it.
The main purpose of both statutes is to foster informed decisionmaking and to limit unnecessary destruction of our remaining environmental resources.
Lawyers at the Law Offices of Stephan C. Volker have extensive experience in challenging Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) under CEQA and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) under NEPA.
We believe that the laudable requirements of these acts must be strictly enforced and undertake cases to ensure that the agency has produced a full and accurate analysis of the project’s environmental impacts, and of alternatives and mitigation measures that could avoid or reduce them.
