NEPA SUCCESS STORIES 1

ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

is publication is a joint eort by the Environ-

mental Law Institute, the Grand Canyon Trust

and the Partnership Project. It was made possible

by generous support from the Henry M. Jackson

Foundation, 444S Foundation and the Wilburforce

Foundation. e views expressed in this publication

are not necessarily those of the funding or organizing

partner organizations.

Stephanie Young of the Partnership Project, Mary

O’Brien of Grand Canyon Trust, and Jim McElsh

of Environmental Law Institute acted as project

coordinators. ey extend their sincere thanks to

the many authors who contributed their stories, and

for the hard work they do every day to make NEPA

work for better decisions and better outcomes for all

stakeholders. Special thanks go to Russell Train for

contributing the Foreword to this volume and for

his foresight and dedication to creating an enduring

statute to serve the best interests of the nation and

her environment.

e Partnership Project, a non-prot incorporated

in Washington, D.C. in 1999, currently has 20

groups participating, including the largest environ-

mental advocacy groups in the country. By uniting

their members and contributors on coordinated ac-

tions, the participating groups are creating a sum of

citizen participation and advocacy greater than they

could generate acting apart.

Grand Canyon Trust is a conservation organization

advocating for science-based solutions to energy, wa-

ter, public lands, and Native American community

issues throughout the Colorado Plateau.

Environmental Law Institute makes law work for

people, places, and the planet. With its non-partisan,

independent approach, ELI promotes solutions to

tough environmental problems. e Institute’s un-

paralleled research and highly respected publications

inform the public debate and build the institutions

needed to advance sustainable development.
