You only need a NEPA if you are filing for an ASR. When you say local government, is that 7ac inside some city limits or is this a county/parish deal? I have found that sometimes whomever is asking for all this doesn't really know what they are doing. i have been able to get letters from both cities and counties stating their approval after just a phone call. Cities seem to be happy to do this if outside their jurisdiction and counties willl if they have no building permit requirements.
