PermitAI is developing an enriched, large-scale NEPA database that provides seamless access to thousands of historical NEPA review documents.
Released to the public in June 2024, NEPA Text Corpus (NEPATEC) 1.0 is the first iteration of this comprehensive database, consisting of more than 28,000 documents from nearly 3,000 projects across more than 100 agencies. NEPATEC2.0, an expanded corpus of public NEPA documents consists of more than 120,000 documents from 60,000 projects prepared by more than 60 different agencies. Modeled to align with Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ)’s metadata standards, NEPATEC2.0 promotes consistency in environmental reviews and supports the ongoing effort to modernize permitting technologies by facilitating more transparent, efficient, and data-driven decision-making. The database can also extend beyond NEPA documents to include other permitting review documents.
