The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to prepare written documentation of potential environmental impacts from proposed actions. Such documentation and the type and level of analyses may vary significantly depending upon the actions proposed, agency-specific NEPA requirements, and public input into the process.

• Jason Associates Corporation (Jason) is a nationally recognized NEPA contractor.
• Jason provides expertise in all activity areas necessary to ensure cost-effective NEPA compliance for our clients.

Analytical activities to prepare NEPA documents (environmental assessment, environmental impact statements, etc.) require that analyses be accomplished in a broad range of resource areas, depending on the specific nature of the proposed action.
