PAL often teams
with other environmental firms to develop documentation for projects that
require review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969.
The services that we provide for such projects include the identification
and evaluation of cultural resources in the project area; assessment of
project impacts on historic properties; participation in the development of
alternatives designed to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the impacts; and
consultation with local, state, and federal review agencies. The results of
these studies and consultations are synthesized for inclusion in federal
Environmental Assessments and Environmental Impact Statements or state
environmental compliance studies, such as those required under the
Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA).
