Power Up Your NEPA with the Facilitated Planning Approach

TYPICAL NEPA PROCESS FACILITATED NEPA/INFORMED FACILITATION

Risk averse culture, fear of litigation, lack of legal knowledge

Risk of litigation minimized through clear strategy and focused, accurate, analysis based on cause-and-effect analyses; Provides experience and expertise with the science, analysis, and your agency’s NEPA and planning policies, increasing certainty and consistency

Excessive documentation; project scale/impact intensity not considered

Emphasis on need and interdisciplinary cause-and-effect relationships focuses mitigation and impact analyses;

concise EAs/EISs/CEs commensurate with impact

Staff lack clear roles and responsibilities; Decision-making not standardized or consistent

Management and staff perform appropriate roles efficiently, within inherent governmental responsibilities;

planning progresses efficiently and productively

NEPA Coordinators end up being project managers because the agency is underfunded/understaffed

Supports Teams and Managers by facilitating a focused, interdisciplinary, and systematic planning process, writing the document concurrently with the progress of the analysis with self-correcting process; Provides analytic support through scientific document review and specialty expertise, substantially increasing workforce capacity

Specialist interactions are stove-piped, focusing on disciplinary interests and inconsistent positions, causing conflict and delays; specialists not motivated to comply with NEPA

Focuses on communication of underlying needs and issues to create common understandings and collaborative solutions, minimizing conflict;

Interdisciplinary understanding, integration, and support reduces specialist’s time in writing duplication; Cross-trains Management and Staff

Costly delays due to “reinventing the wheel”

Planning progresses smoothly, collaboratively, productively, and cost-effectively, building on and refining previous work by the interdisciplinary team, management, stakeholders, and the public; Diverse opinions and expertise are sought, valued, supported, and integrated affirmatively into planning and decision-making

Contracting does not appear to save time or leverage specialists’ expertise

Contracted Informed Facilitator partners with NEPA Coordinator, Project Manager, and Teams to leverage agency expertise and data, develop and implement productive planning strategies, keep projects on task, focus data and analysis needs, minimize the burden of writing by specialists, and avoiding “reinventing the wheel” by correcting and advancing the documentation concurrent with the progress of the analysis

NEPA is encyclopedic, not analytic Focuses on need for action and cause-and-effect relationships, resulting in addressing only the alternatives, mitigation, and impacts necessary for informed decision-making documented in concise and focused documents

The NEPA process is too long, resulting in lack of trust and long-term engagement

Stakeholders and Team engaged at appropriate times;

involvement is productive and timely; constant and productive progress facilitates engagement and interest
