The process consists of a step-by-step evaluation of the impact of the project on the total environment.
As part of the process,

Each alternative must be considered by project decision makers prior to initiating the work.
The public at large plays a key role in the NEPA procss, provding input at public hearings and public review of NEPA documents throughout the decision-making process.
