After the Award
A MARAD grant is a reimbursement award, and MARAD does not obligate funds until environmental review requirements are satisfied. NEPA sits on the critical path between the award letter and the groundbreaking, and it governs when the money starts moving. This report shows port owners how to scope that review before it sets their schedule for them.
16 pages. No commitment, just the road map.

The financial and schedule risk that runs all the way to the award itself.
Show me the money: the mechanism that pulls a local project into federal review.
What MARAD expects to see in an Environmental Assessment, and why the FONSI is the finish line.
The consultations that share the calendar with NEPA, and the one that usually sets the pace.
The government-wide rulebook is gone. Here is what replaced it inside transportation.
All five sections, plus two real case studies, one that met a five-month deadline and one that didn't.
"The award letter is a starting gun, not a trophy. The next real milestone is environmental clearance."
WGI's environmental team manages the NEPA process for federally funded port and intermodal projects, from pre-application scoping through Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact documentation and agency consultation.
Where a project requires permitting, WGI brings in specialists who know the local regulators and manages that work as part of the overall environmental effort, coordinated alongside WGI's transportation capability across highways, bridges, rail and transit, and intermodal connections.
