In the war of 1812, Oliver Hazard Perry pronounced, "We have seen the enemy, and they are us." In recent years, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has come under increasing scrutiny and criticism as many agencies have experienced delays and inefficiencies in this process. I personally believe that much of this problem stems not from inefficiencies inherent in NEPA's regulatory requirements, but instead from the way in which the planning process is implemented.
