Procedural Enhancements: 7/31/18 Rachel Mills-Coyne (copied over from Coordination Plan):&nbsp;Concurrence Point 2—Range of Alternatives Considered and Reasonable Alternatives to be Carried Forward for Detailed Study Based on the output of Concurrence Point 1, as well as on input received at the public workshop on alternatives and any general alternatives analysis conducted during the project development process, FHWA and NDOT prepared a project alternatives package that was shared with the Participating and Cooperating agencies.Concurrent Point 3—Selection of the Preferred Alternative Based on the results of Concurrence Point 2, as well as input received from the public, cost, impacts and effectiveness in addressing the reasons for the project, FHWA and NDOT will select a preferred alternative. FHWA and NDOT will notify Cooperating and Participating Agencies and ask them to concur. Based on the input received from this concurrence point, FHWA and NDOT will identify their preferred alternative in the Draft EIS.Concurrence Point 4—Preliminary Mitigation Measures When avoidance of impacts to a resource is not practicable, Cooperating and Participating Agencies with jurisdiction by law or with special expertise will assist FHWA and NDOT in determining appropriate and practicable mitigation, including all practicable measures to minimize harm. After a preferred alternative has been identified, FHWA and NDOT will develop a range of preliminary mitigation measures and submit them to the Participating and Cooperating Agencies. This will likely occur after the Draft EIS is approved and prior to the Final EIS/Record of Decision approval.Concurrence Point 4—Preliminary Mitigation MeasuresWhen avoidance of impacts to a resource is not practicable, Cooperating and Participating Agencies with jurisdiction by law or with special expertise will assist FHWA and NDOT in determining appropriate and practicable mitigation, including all practicable measures to minimize harm. After a preferred alternative has been identified, FHWA and NDOT will develop a range of preliminary mitigation measures and submit them to the Participating and Cooperating Agencies. This will likely occur after the Draft EIS is approved and prior to the Final EIS/Record of Decision approval. If the agency determines that it does not have enough information to make a recommendation on mitigation measures, it will comment to that effect. If the project impacts are deemed substantial by a regulatory agency to the extent that permits would probably be denied, the Participating Agencies will advise the Lead Agencies to modify the project to reduce impacts. If this is not effective, the signatory agencies agree to implement issue resolution to see if the project can be appropriately modified.
