Program participants will participate <br />in finding solutions to the problem which could trigger the reinitiation of consultations. Only if <br />the Program cannot implement recovery actions to remove the cause of reinitiation will the <br />Sef\'iee reiaitiateformal consultation be reinitiated on individual waterprojects, and/or reE[llire <br />project sponsors be required to provide reasonable and prudent alternatives. <br /> <br />If the Program cannot provide reasonable and prudent alternatives, project sponsors may <br />choose to provide the reasonable and prudent alternatives independently of the program. <br /> <br />With respect to the specific reasons listed above, should the Service or action agency find cause <br />for reinitiation, the following courses of action will be taken: <br /> <br />11 <br />
