Have you included all the necessary elements of a draft evaluation?
Check to see that your draft evaluation has the following:
q A description of
each resource that would be subject to
Section 4(f) use, including graphics
that clearly illustrate the location,
boundaries, impacts and proposed alternatives
q A discussion of impacts on the Section 4(f) property for each alternative under consideration
q Evidence that avoidance alternatives have been explored, as well as a discussion to support a finding of whether or not avoidance alternatives are feasible and prudent, as well as any unique problems they may present
q A detailed discussion
of, summary of, or reference to all
relevant mitigation measures
q A discussion of the results of coordination with the official with jurisdiction, the regional offices of the DOI, and other relevant agencies
REMINDERS
q Identification of
the selected alternative is premature
and inappropriate in the draft
evaluation.
q If you have a project with minor impacts, check to see if it qualifies for a programmatic evaluation before starting an individual evaluation.
