The State will determine what technical reports and documentation will be necessary for any given project. Technical reports and documentation must be prepared for the State with sufficient detail and clarity to support environmental determination(s). All technical reports must be compliant with TxDOT Environmental Compliance Toolkits, guidance, and policy. The environmental document must reference the technical reports. Environmental technical reports and documentation must include appropriate National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) or federal regulatory language in addition to the purpose and methodology used in delivering the service. Technical reports and forms must include sufficient information to determine the significance of impacts. Some examples of environmental technical reports and documentation are listed below: • Purpose and Need • Species Analysis Form (including a Species Analysis Spreadsheet) • Air Quality Analysis • Archeological Background Study • Archeological Antiquities Permit Application • Archeological Survey Report • Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodation • Chapter 26, Parks and Wildlife Code • Community Impacts Technical Report or Assessment Technical Report Form • Farmland Protection Policy Act • Hazardous Materials • Historic Resources Project Coordination Request (PCR) • Historic Resources Survey Research Design • Historic Resources Survey Report (HRSR) • Indirect and Cumulative Impacts • Section 6(f) Land and Water Conservation Fund Act • Surface Water Analysis Form • U.S. DOT Section 4(f) Analysis • NEPA and Project Development • Public Involvement • Tier 1 Assessment • Traffic Noise Analysis • Work Plan Development Minimum Deliverables for all documents and technical reports: (Additional deliverables to be identified in a work authorization based on work assigned.) • Draft Document • Final Document
