Environmental Assessments (EAs) and Environmental Reviews(ERs) have become an important planning and development tool for the Tribe because of increased development on the reservation. The format and structure for conducting EAs and ERs parallel that of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and are tailored to the uniqueness of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe and Mohawk Culture.
The process was drafted, reviewed, revised, finalized and adopted by the Environment Division. The resulting Environmental Review Checklist document provides staff with tools and guidance necessary for objectively determining impacts from proposed projects. The checklist was also developed into a short form and is designed for developers who are considering a project. The structure and format is specific in guidance and the process has been streamlined in order to allow efficient processing of EAs and ERs.
