Transforming NEPA Reviews with Konveio’s Interactive Platform

Recent executive orders and federal court actions have affected National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations and the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) NEPA Implementation Guidance. Navigating the complexities of the changes demands more than just traditional document sharing and comment collection. Konveio gives teams a secure, cloud-based space to prepare, review, and share Environmental Assessments (EAs) and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs) prepared under new NEPA rules. Some of the new rules include deadlines for the completion of EAs and EISs, page limits for EISs, and the preparation of a single, coordinated environmental document when multiple agencies are involved. Konveio helps keep schedules, page counts, and cross-agency inputs aligned from scoping to Record of Decision (ROD).

Centralized Collaboration for Smarter Scoping and Streamlined Comment Analysis

Preparation of an EIS includes a scoping process where public and other stakeholder input is gathered to identify key issues for analysis. Konveio brings all stakeholders together on a single, centralized platform, ensuring everyone is aligned on the most current project documents. Interactive maps, visuals, and structured prompts help the public give on-point feedback. With intuitive collaboration tools like direct document commenting, section-based feedback, and threaded discussions, agencies can efficiently coordinate multi-agency reviews in real-time. Konveio’s AI-driven tools also accelerate document analysis by auto-tagging comments, identifying themes, and summarizing feedback, which cuts down on the time it takes to synthesize comments, while enhancing clarity and decision-making. Konveio provides a practical edge when the clock is running and page budgets are tight.

Accessible and Inclusive Public Engagement

Konveio makes technical documents accessible and engaging for the broader community through a user-friendly online interface. Interactive visualizations, embedded multimedia, and ESRI ArcGIS map integrations bring complex projects to life, simplifying public understanding and promoting more informed feedback. Mobile-optimized and WCAG 2.2 compliant, Konveio encourages participation from all community members, regardless of device or ability, making the engagement process truly inclusive.

Clear Decision-Making Through Transparent Communication

By consolidating feedback, tracking stakeholder responses, and highlighting key themes in real-time, Konveio helps eliminate bottlenecks while speeding consensus. Agencies can proactively address concerns, clarify misunderstandings, and foster consensus early in the process, significantly reducing staff review time. With features like permanent hyperlinks, AI-powered document search, and guided document tours, Konveio makes it easier for stakeholders to quickly find the information they need, enhancing transparency and providing a clear path for decision-making.

Plan Library for Long-Term Project Success

Konveio supports the entire lifecycle of NEPA documentation, from scoping, to alternatives development, drafting the EA and EIS, to the ROD and project implementation. Our Plan Library feature centralizes all NEPA documents in an easy-to-navigate platform, bridging departmental and cross-agency silos while promoting continuous accessibility. After the ROD, agencies can use Konveio to host project documents, track project updates, and report progress, keeping  plans relevant and actionable over time.
