MaineDOT NEPA Guidance

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a federal procedural law that establishes a national environmental policy. NEPA provides a framework for environmental planning and decision-making for projects that receive federal funds or require federal approvals. NEPA requires federal agencies (or states that have assumed responsibility under 23 U.S.C. 326 or 23 U.S.C. 327) when planning projects to conduct environmental reviews to consider the potential impacts on the environment by their proposed actions.
