While scientific goals drive the planning process, the practical realities of land-use permitting force compromises during the process of building a network. Changes in the past few years, including strict enforcement of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and increased federal, state, and municipal regulations, make gaining land-use permits for large science projects increasingly difficult, requiring greater willingness to compromise between scientific goals and permit reality. EarthScope is a National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative designed to explore the structure and evolution of the...
