Support Great Basin Institute in Serving Public Lands in the West
Great Basin Institute provides NEPA collaboration to increase the pace and scale of public land management projects by supporting planning and resource assessments required to support the NEPA/CEQA permitting process. GBI delivers dedicated NEPA teams that work across agencies to facilitate prioritized projects to rapidly respond to planning needs at a landscape scale. Annual planning meetings with agencies, and with collaborative and stakeholder groups, support a program of work that anticipates the need and range of technical assistance required. GBI partners through agency cooperative agreements and subcontracting to execute timely and effective NEPA deliverables
In recent years, GBI has scaled support for several post-fire planning and fire planning / community protection needs for the US Forest Service. In 2023-24, the Eldorado, Humboldt-Toiyabe, Inyo, Lassen, Plumas, Sequoia, Six Rivers, and Umpqua National Forests and the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit have entered into agreements to provide specialist support and scoping for Categorical Exclusions (CEs), Environmental Assessments (EAs), and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) to address post-fire needs after the Archie, Beckworth, Caldor, Castle, Dixie, French, KNP Complex, Mosquito, Thielson, and Windy Fires, many of which comprise some of the largest wildfires in the history of the region.
