• Abstract:
  The objective of these training materials is to provide National Environmental ; Policy Act (NEPA) Assignment information to all professionals involved in the NEPA ; process. This training is not intended to be a replication of existing NEPA training that ; TxDOT conducts, nor is it a training on performing NEPA documentation. Rather, the ; information is intended to provide an overview of the responsibilities and duties under ; NEPA assignment, followed by a quiz. ; TxDOT staff helped identify six groups to receive the training: ; 1. Consultants ; 2. Engineers ; 3. Environmental Specialists ; 4. Local Government Staff ; 5. Elected Officials ; 6. Management ; Six PowerPoints were developed specifically for these groups. The PowerPoints ; contain sections that outline an introductory review of NEPA and an explanation of how ; NEPA Assignment has changed the general responsibilities held by these six groups. An ; overview of what to expect and develop for different project classifications lays the ; foundation for project delivery of Categorical Exclusions (CEs), Environmental ; Assessments (EAs), and Environmental Impact Statement (EISs). Major aspects of ; implementing the NEPA process across all project classifications are outlined, such as ; project initiation and quality assurance and control. Finally, real-world examples are used ; to illustrate how important each person’s role is to the larger NEPA process under ; assignment, and to provide examples of where and how mistakes can take place. ; Also provided here are five quizzes (for all but the elected official group), which ; similarly use examples from practice to assess the user’s understanding of the material.
