In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1970 (NEPA), an Environmental Assessment (EA) is being prepared for the proposed construction of a new Energy and Minerals Research Facility, referred to as the EMRF. The EA will identify and analyze potential impacts of the project to the human and natural environment, determine mitigation measures for unavoidable impacts, and provide opportunities for public comment. By following this process, decisionmakers will be equipped with the information necessary to make safe and sustainable decisions regarding this proposed Federal action.
