The
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District to evaluate the effect of proposed projects on both the environment and human health and welfare.
An Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) are used when there is not a significant effect to the environment or human health and welfare. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is used when the effect is significant. A Draft EA and Draft FONSI are issued to state and federal natural resource agencies, stakeholder groups, and other interested parties for a 30–day comment period.
We evaluate all comments received prior to deciding to continue with the proposed project and finalizing the EA and FONSI. Below is a list of significant projects in South Carolina and their NEPA documents. If you are looking for documents for projects not listed below, please contact
