Geothermal Permitting and NEPA Timeline Analysis
In this analysis, we outline the types of NEPA-related analyses and approvals (e.g., environmental assessment), and we provide examples of geothermal development activities (e.g., well drilling) that might require each type of approval, including an overview and discussion of the ...

Geothermal Development and the Use of Categorical Exclusions Under NEPA
This study focuses primarily on the Categorial Exclusions (CX) process and its applicability to geothermal exploration. In this paper, we:
Provide generalized background information on CXs, including previous NEPA reports addressing CXs, the process for developing CXs, and the ro...
