Analyze proposed actions affecting floodplains or <br />involving new construction in wetland to assess the spe- <br />cific flood hazards, quantify floodplain or wetland values <br />of the areas; determine the impacts of the proposal on <br />those hazards and values; formulate and evaluate land and <br />resource management options; come up with a practicable <br />alternative action or location, and determine whether the <br />"no action" option is practicable. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. Modify plans, activities, and designs to minimize <br />impacts of the action and to mitigate its effects on the <br />natural and beneficial values of the floodplain or wetland <br />in all actions where an alternative to an action in or <br />affecting the floodplain or new construction in a wetland <br />is not practicable. <br /> <br />3. Ensure that all practicable and necessary miti- <br />gating measures are incorporated in specifications for the <br />proposed action, and that the implementation of the <br />selected action is accomplished in a manner that to the <br />extent practicable, restores and preserves the natural and <br />beneficial values served by floodplains and preserves and <br />enhances the natural and beneficial values of wetlands. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />4. Require flood hazard and wetlands evaluations prior <br />to issuing of licenses, permits, loans, or grants-in-aid, <br />and provide assistance to applicants in obtaining help to <br />make such evaluations in their proposals. <br /> <br />5. Ensure that design, construction, or rehabilitation <br />of Forest Service real property is in accordance with stan- <br />dards and criteria outlined in the National Flood Insurance <br />program (42 U.S.C. 4001 and following) using flood proofing <br />measures and structural elevation, where practicable. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />6. Provide for the placement of appropriate signs to <br />enhance pUblic awareness of and knowledge about flood <br />hazards. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />*-FSM 3/86 AMEND 48-* <br /> <br />e <br />
