SOUTHEAST REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE TOOL

Regional Reference for Developing/Reviewing Internal/External NEPA Documents

NOTE: Internet Links with this symbol behind them will take you to a website not owned by the US government.

Purpose: This tool will provide information and contacts for identifying potential affected environmental resources related to a specific proposed Federal action. This tool will assist NOAA staff with collecting information necessary for scoping and developing NEPA documents as well as reviewing other agency NEPA documents.

Intended Audience: All NOAA environmental staff that are responsible for NEPA compliance and coordination may find this tool helpful in their work.

Southeast Region covers the following states: North Carolina (NC), South Carolina (SC), Georgia (GA), Florida (FL), Alabama (AL), Mississippi (MS), Louisiana (LA), Texas (TX), Puerto Rico (PR), and the US Virgin Islands (VI)
