Prior to undertaking a development project, a company must prepare an environmental impact statement, or EIS. This statement fully examines alternatives to the project, and weighs the potential for environmental harm against the potential for social and business benefits.

Some of the factors examined by a thorough environmental impact statement include:

• Air quality
• Traffic impact
• Parking areas
• Energy use
• Historic resources
• Natural resources
• Noise pollution
• Sanitation

The State Environmental Quality Review Act, or SEQRA, must be throughly complied with when a project requires state funding or approval. Similarly, City Environmental Quality Review, or CEQR, must be complied within New York City. The attorneys of Periconi, LLC can assist in preparing thorough environmental impact statements for state or local agencies.

The environmental quality review process must be sufficently thorough to minimize the likelihood of future litigation. A defective EIS, if successfully challenged, may lead to the revocation of government and private funding, putting projects on hold indefinitely or killing them. The experienced legal team of Periconi, LLC oversees the environmental quality review process with keen attention to avoiding litigation and delay.
