Technical Reports and Documentation. Definition of technical report and documentation for environmental services: a report, checklist, form, or analysis detailing resource-specific studies identified during the process of gathering data to make an environmental decision. Technical reports and documentation must be produced before an environmental document (e.g. EA) is prepared in order to identify issues early in the process. 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. The environmental document will 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: • Biological Evaluation Form with Tier 1 Assessment • Air Quality Analysis DocuSign Envelope ID: 9EFC6FE2-229E-4628-90C6-20E86398200F • Archeological Background Study • Bicycle and Pedestrian Accommodation • Coastal Barrier Resources Act • Community Impacts Assessment • Biological Resources • Farmland Protection Policy Act • Hazardous Materials • Historic Resources Project Coordination Request (PCR) • Indirect and Cumulative Impacts • Public Involvement • Traffic Noise Analysis All technical reports and documentation prepared under the authority granted by this MOU, the Engineer shall insert the following language in a way that is conspicuous to the reader or include in a CE project record: "The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 16, 2014, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT."
