NOAA NEPA Coordination
Northwest Regional Environmental Resource Tool
Regional Reference for Developing/Reviewing Internal/External NEPA Documents
NOTE: Internet Links with an asterisk (*) 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.
Northwest Region covers the states of Washington (WA) and Oregon (OR)
