Project Planning. A. The project team meets to evaluate alternatives identified in Step 1, formulate new alternatives as necessary, and identifies their preferred alternative(s), using an evaluation process that is consistent with the flood damage principles identified in Part II. At this stage in the process, the Corps of Engineers will not be able to participate in selection of a preferred alternative. B. The project team identifies data and information needs for the environmental review associated with the review and permitting process. The use of “Information Required to Evaluate Most Impoundment Projects” and other sources or checklists will be used where appropriate and available. C. The project team collaborates with the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) to help prepare an environmental assessment worksheet (EAW) for the preferred alternative. D. The RGU publishes an EAW for the proposed project which includes the preferred alternative, other alternatives considered, proposed mitigation for any adverse effects, and operating plans, if the project involves on-going operation. E. Permit applications are submitted to regulatory agencies along with information and data needs identified in Step 2B.
