Small-handles, big impacts: when should the National Environmental Policy Act require an environmental impact statement?

Article Abstract:

Observance of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Council on Environmental Quality regulations requires an environmental impact statement (EIS) even for small-handle problems. There has not been a uniform judicial response to cases on whether and EIS was required. Some courts have cited a unitary standard of a theory of indirect effects to require an EIS, while some have relied on the facts of each individual case or on whether a project was federalized.
