Unlocking New Changes to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
presented by: Joe DiMisa, F.SAME, LEED AP, REM | Air Force Institute of Technology-The Civil Engineer School
For nearly 50 years, the National Environmental Policy Act or NEPA had remained essentially the same as when it was signed into law in 1970. Required to assess human and natural effects of all federal actions, changes to implementing the law came fast and furious over the last few years. This presentation will arm you with the background, basics, process, and new rules to navigate the NEPA process. The presentation has a focus on the Department of the Air Force processes, but can be relevant to all federal agencies.

Mr. DiMisa is an Instructor of Environmental Management focusing on NEPA, water quality management, cultural and natural resources, and environmental restoration.
