The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process includes the evaluation of several alternatives prior to the selection of a preferred alternative. This can pose a problem if the project is a county-wide project. Normally, a preliminary review of the anticipated issues is conducted for each alternative. The identification of hazardous waste and hazardous substance sites can be accomplished within a modest budget. However, once the data are collected, the evaluation can involve a considerable amount of time for the environmental professional to assess the potential impact of each site along the proposed alternatives.
