Interpreting your environmental review report & completing it.
These guidance documents explain how to interpret your environmental review report, also known as a CERT report, and complete your review. There are three results you may receive; it will be listed in the "Overall Results" section on your report.
For example, if you received a result that reads "It is unlikely this project will negatively impact ...", review the document "Unlikely Will Negatively Impact." View the three responses here:
Conservation Planning reports
These reports are to be generated for projects in the early planning phase, for NEPA purposes, or to obtain a species list. These reports contain tables of species and natural communities in or near your project area. They do NOT contain species questions or conservation measures and do NOT require signature. Conservation Planning Reports are NOT consultation. If a project has a Conservation Planning Report, and now needs a report for consultation/environmental review please reach out the Environmental Review Team at ngpc.envreview@nebraska.gov or (402) 471-5423 and we can change your project type!
