15 NEPA Requires federal agencies to integrate environmental values into their decision making processes by considering the environmental impacts of their proposed actions and reasonable alternatives to those actions. To meet requirements, federal agencies prepare a detailed statement known as an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

18 WHAT IS ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE? There are three fundamental environmental justice principles: To avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse human health and environmental effects, including social and economic effects, on minority populations and low-income populations. To ensure the full and fair participation by all potentially affected communities in the transportation decision-making process. To prevent the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits by minority and low-income populations. Source: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/ej2000.htm
