Each year the BLM prepares or documents environmental analysis for a wide variety of proposed management activities in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). BLM prepares four types of environmental documents to comply with NEPA. The type of environmental document prepared is determined generally by the scope, complexity and anticipated effects of the proposed action.
- Environmental Assessments (EA) are prepared when a project is not expected to have significant environmental effects. EAs identify any potential negative effects of the proposal and determine if they can be mitigated effectively.
- Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) are prepared for projects that are expected to result in significant impacts to the human environment. An EIS is also prepared when an EA determines that a proposed project may have significant impacts that cannot be mitigated effectively.
- Categorical Exclusions (CE) are prepared when a proposed action falls within one of the DOI or BLM lists of categorical exclusions and none of the exceptions apply.
- Determination of NEPA Adequacy (DNA) is applied when a proposed action was fully analyzed in a previous EA.
