Defining the project purpose under NEPA: promoting consideration of viable EIS alternatives
Article Abstract:
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, federal agencies must consider alternatives for any project which they propose to undertake that may effect the environment. However, the required scope of this consideration is not clear. Courts should hold that a project's broad goals must be considered in environmental impact statements, rather than just the specific means the agency proposes to carry them out.
