The reality

YourteamispreparingCEQAdocuments.Yourtoolsaremanagingchaos.

Initial Studies take weeks to draft by hand. Source materials are scattered across agency databases. Project tracking lives in a spreadsheet someone emailed last Tuesday. Comment periods, NODs, and deadlines are buried in inboxes. Every gap in the process is a place where submittals stall and timelines slip.

The platform

Two capabilities. One workspace.

Draft Engine

AI-Assisted CEQA Drafting

Stonepine generates working drafts of CEQA documents, from CatEx gjustifications through IS/MND and EIR, pre-populated with project data and sourced references. Your qualified professionals review, refine, and apply professional judgment to each significance determination.

Lifecycle Tracking

Unified Project Management

Track the full CEQA lifecycle from scoping through certification. NOP circulation, comment periods, agency responses, lead agency hearings, and NOD filing, all in a single timeline. No more chasing status updates across email threads and shared drives.

Working drafts. Not dashboards.

Stonepine drafts the documents your team submits to lead agencies. It consolidates findings analysis across the numerous datasets, presenting options for significance findings with clear material citations, current industry standards, and prior case law relevance.
