Charles
H. Eccleston, CEP - Associate
Mr. Eccleston is an
Environmental Scientist and accomplished author with nearly 20 years
of diverse scientific and engineering experience. He is committed to
preparing high-quality interdisciplinary environmental, engineering,
energy, and economic analyses. He consistently produces high-quality
quantitative analyses, ahead of schedule and on budget. Having
participated in and managed a wide array of environmental analyses and
planning projects, he has accrued a continuous string of planning
accomplishments.
The United States
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is the principal
mandated process for planning federal actions. Having authored the
three leading textbooks on NEPA, he is widely recognized as one of the
nation's foremost experts on NEPA.
His text, Effective
Environmental Assessments, recently received a national award as an
outstanding contribution to NEPA. Mr. Eccleston has served on two
White House sponsored taskforces, including President's Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) - Re-inventing NEPA Initiative. He has
also provided leadership, chairing three national committees chartered
with responsibility for establishing nationally Accepted Methods of
Professional Practice (AMPPs) for resolving problems that have
traditionally hindered NEPA and environmental planning.
