National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 is the major piece of legislation forced government agencies to prepare environmental impact statements.

A US environmental statute known as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) created the President's Council on Environmental Quality and encourages environmental improvement (CEQ). On January 1st, 1970, the law was passed.

During the 1960s, as industrialization, urban and suburban growth, and pollution rose across the country, a greater respect and concern among the general public for the environment evolved. This led to the creation of NEPA. During this period, support for the 1964 Wilderness Act and subsequent legislation was sparked by environmental interest group efforts and rising public awareness as a result of Rachel Carson's 1962 book Silent Spring (including the 1970 National Environmental Policy Act and 1972 Clean Water Act).
