Proposed merge

I propose that Environmental Quality Improvement Act be merged into this article. It's a stub and it just describes an amendment to NEPA. LegalSkeptic 17:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

In the lede:

Eccleston writes that as one of the most emulated statutes in the world, NEPA has been called the modern day equivalent of an “Environmental Magna Carta.”

Who is Eccleston, and why is he or she mentioned in the lede? Readers come to this article without having read it; the lede should not introduce terms or individuals who are not very broadly known. 121a0012 (talk) 03:12, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
