Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NEPA requires that any projects funded by the U.S. government undergo an environmental impact statement, which assesses the potential impact on the environment and considers alternatives. NEPA does not require compensation for those harmed by deliberate pollution or put federal land under stringent environmental protection, and it was not signed into law by Bill Clinton or alter the amount of chemicals allowed in water.
