INITIATE PLANNING

∗ Discuss purpose and need for project with sponsors/Initiate study.

Step 1 - IDENTIFY PROBLEMS, OPPORTUNITIES & CONCERNS

∗ Identify the need for the proposed action (quantify, extent, magnitude, timing, frequency etc.)

Step 2 - DETERMINE OBJECTIVES

∗ Write purpose and need statement and Write scope of plan-EA/EIS

Step 3 - INVENTORY RESOURCES

∗ Conduct detailed resource inventories and watershed assessment ∗ Economics, social effects, Archeological and historic resources ∗ Engineering/Geology/Support maps ∗ Document problems

Step 4 - ANALYZE RESOURCE DATA

∗ Geology, Hydrology & Hydraulics, Cultural, Economics and Social

Step 5 - FORMULATE ALTERNATIVES

∗ Develop reasonable alternatives, mitigation strategies and costs (Preliminary plans)

Step 6 - EVALUATE ALTERNATIVES

  • Env. Resources, Geotechnical, Hydrology & Hydraulics, Economics, Significance of effects,…

Step 7 - MAKE DECISIONS (EA/EIS, Public Involvement,…)

RCPP Planning Process

RCPP Planning Process - NEPA

RCPP planning process will follow NEPA guidelines

∗ 40 CFR 1506.6 – Public Involvement ∗ Primary Goal

∗ Ensure all interested and affected parties are aware of the proposed action

(a) “make diligent efforts to involve the public in preparing and implementing their NEPA procedures.”
