\n President Trump is rolling back the nation\u2019s main environmental review law in a bid to speed up the construction of freeways and other infrastructure projects, describing it as a job killer and \u201chorrible roadblock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking before a crowd at a UPS warehouse in Atlanta, Trump announced he was signing an executive order overhauling the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, which he said had stymied important projects and limited economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor decades, the single biggest obstacle to building a modern transportation system has been the mountains and mountains of bureaucratic red tape in Washington, DC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I took office, reviews for highways ballooned to an average of nearly 750 pages in length and they were the good ones, they were the short ones,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

The NEPA was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in 1970 and requires federal agencies to consider the environmental impacts of major projects before they are app<\/a>roved, allowing public groups and local communities to weigh in.<\/p>\n

Environmental groups accused the Trump administration of \u201cgutting\u201d important regulations protecting poor communities impacted by power plants and pipelines in their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

\u201cNEPA gives poor and communities of color a say in the projects that will define their communities for decades to come,\u201d Sharon Buccino, a senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council, told NPR on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than listen, the Trump administration\u2019s plan aims to silence such voices,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Georgia, where local leaders have been lobbying for a lane expansion to the Interstate 75, Trump said permits which previously took 20 years to be approved would now be reviewed in two years or less.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to do this from day one, literally on day one,\u201d Trump said, recounting his own experience with NEPA as a property developer in New York.<\/p>\n

According to the White House, federal agencies today take an average four and a half years to conduct the required reviews of major infrastructure projects like highways.<\/p>\n

The president has reversed more than 100 environmental rules since taking office, according to a New York Times analysis, including fuel efficiency standards which earned a rebuke from his predecessor Barack Obama.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
