What is the Section of Environmental Analysis and What Does it Do?
The Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) is the office within the Board responsible for directing the environmental review process, conducting an independent analysis of all environmental data, and making an environmental recommendation to the Board. As part of the environmental review process for this proposed acquisition, SEA will complete an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Board will consider the entire environmental record, including all public comments submitted during the environmental review process, before making a final decision. SEA is composed of a highly trained staff of administrative, legal and environmental specialists. SEA is headed by the Chief of the Section of Environmental Analysis.

The Board maintains an electronic public docket and information system designed to expand public access.
