001816 2527.06--2 . TITLE 2500 - WATERSHED MANAGEMENT 3. Identify and evaluate practicable alternatives to locating a proposed action in a floodplain including alternative sites outside the floodplain, alternative actions serving the same purpose as the proposed action, and the "no action" option. e 4. Identify the full range of potential direct or indirect adverse impacts associated with the occupancy or modification of floodplain and the potential direct and indirect support of floodplain development that could result from the proposed action. 5. Identify and evaluate mitigating measures that will minimize the potential adverse impacts of the action if avoidance cannot be achieved, and measures that will pre- serve and restore Dr enhance the natural and beneficial floodplain values that would be adversely impacted by the action. e 6. Reevaluate the proposed action to determine first, if it is still practical, even with the application of appropriate mitigating measures, in light of its exposure to flood hazards and its potential to adversely affect the floodplain and, second, if the alternatives identified in step 3 are practicable in light of information gained in steps 4 and 5 above. e 7. Prepare and provide the pUblic with a finding and public explanation of any final decision that there is no practicable alternative to locating an action in, or adversely affecting, a floodplain. 8. provide ongoing review of implementation and post- implementation phases of the proposed action to ensure that all provisions associated with the action, including appro- priate mitigating measures as identified in the environ- mental assessment, are fully implemented. The nUmbering of steps 1 through 8 does not firmly r'equire that the steps be followed sequentially. As information is gathered throughout the decision-making process and as additional information is needed, reevaluation of lower- numbered steps may be necessary. e *-FSM 3/86 AMEND 48-*
