Environmental impact evaluation is a vital component of any planning effort. This course surveys major areas of government involvement in environmental and socio-economic impact assessment as it related to planning including: National Environment Policy Act (NEPA); State environmental policy acts (SEPAs); Municipal and regional planning authorities; Wildlife and land conservation laws; and, Environmental media laws (e.g., Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, etc.).
