Council on Environmental Quality Guidelines

The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) guidelines exist to ensure that federal agencies consider environmental consequences when making decisions. These guidelines help agencies assess the potential impacts of projects on air, water, land, and wildlife. By following these guidelines, agencies are required to engage with the public, share information, and promote sustainable practices. The aim is to balance development needs with environmental protection, helping to foster a healthier planet for future generations while making informed choices about land and resource use.
