The questions your team needs answered
Every nepa and state environmental review intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Is your issue about a U.S. government or state/local government decision to approve, fund, permit, or build a project (like a road, pipeline, mine, housing, or energy project)? | Confirms the dispute involves a government approval, funding, or permitting decision, which is the threshold requirement for NEPA or state review to apply at all. |
| Has an environmental review document been started or issued for the project (for example, an environmental assessment or environmental impact report/statement), or has the agency said no detailed review is needed? | Shows whether the matter is pre-review, mid-review, or post-review, which changes both the legal strategy and how quickly action is needed. |
| Is the project located in the United States or its territories? | NEPA and most state environmental review statutes only reach projects located in the U.S. or its territories, so a no answer signals the matter is out of scope. |
| Do you have a specific agency, department, or local authority you can name that is responsible for the decision or review? | A named agency lets the firm scope jurisdiction and prior precedent before committing time to a consultation. |
| Are you personally affected by the project (for example, you live/work nearby, use the area, own property there, or your organization’s members do)? | Personal or organizational impact establishes the standing needed to challenge a government decision in the first place. |
| Is there an upcoming deadline soon (such as a public comment deadline, permit hearing date, or a final approval already issued within the last 60 days)? | An imminent comment deadline or a recently issued final approval determines whether there's still time to act on the matter. |
| Are you seeking to challenge or change the government’s environmental review or decision (for example, to require more study, consider alternatives, or reduce impacts)? | Distinguishes prospects who want to actively challenge or reshape a review from those just seeking information, which determines whether the firm's services are even relevant. |

Common nepa and state environmental review lead scenarios
Pipeline permit fight
A federal agency is named and a pipeline permit is pending, but no environmental assessment has been issued yet and the client owns adjacent land. The intake flags open review status alongside confirmed standing.
Post-approval challenge window
A final approval was issued within the last 60 days and the client wants to force more study before it's built out. The near-term deadline signal pushes this straight to the top of the queue.
Community group with no named agency
Members of a residents' group say they're affected by a proposed housing development but can't identify which authority is deciding it. The intake still captures impact and project type while leaving the agency field open for follow-up.
Project outside U.S. territory
An inquiry describes a similar government approval process, but the project sits outside the United States or its territories. The intake routes this as a poor fit rather than filling a consultation slot NEPA doesn't reach.
General complaint, no government decision
A caller describes pollution or land-use frustration with no identifiable permit, funding, or approval decision behind it. Without a government action to challenge, the intake surfaces this as outside NEPA/state review scope.

NEPA and State Environmental Review lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake separate a real NEPA matter from a general environmental complaint?
The first question asks whether the issue involves a government decision to approve, fund, permit, or build a project. Without a government action behind it, there's no NEPA or state review hook, and the lead is flagged accordingly before it reaches your calendar.
Can the intake tell me whether an environmental assessment or impact statement has already been issued?
Yes. Prospective clients report whether a review document has started, been issued, or been waived by the agency, so you know at a glance whether you're stepping into a pending review or a completed one.
How does the intake screen for standing?
It asks whether the prospective client is personally affected by the project — living or working nearby, owning property, or having members whose interests are at stake — which is a key input for whether they can bring a challenge at all.
What happens if a lead describes a project outside the United States?
The location question is weighted heavily, since NEPA and most state environmental review statutes only reach projects in the U.S. or its territories. A no answer here signals a poor fit rather than a matter worth a consultation.
Does the intake catch upcoming comment periods or hearing dates?
Yes. It asks about an approaching public comment deadline, permit hearing, or a final approval issued in the last 60 days, so time-sensitive matters surface ahead of ones with no immediate clock running.
What if the prospective client can't name the agency responsible?
The intake still records everything else, but a missing agency answer lowers the lead's weight since it usually means more upfront research before the matter is ready to discuss.
