Alternative Selection Sample Clauses
Alternative Selection. An alternative system of overtime selection may be used, as has been the practice within certain classifications, when agreed by the District (signed by the manager/supervisor and the Executive Director) and the Union (agreed to by the Union and signed by the Chair and Vice-Chair). Any alternative overtime agreements approved by both parties during the life of the contract will extend for the life of the contract. Any overtime under such systems will only be paid in accordance with a signed agreement.
Alternative Selection. A. Criteria for Identifying Reasonable Alternatives (NEPA, SEPA) The evaluation of alternatives must consider a reasonable range of options that could fulfill the project sponsor’s purpose and need. Reasonable alternatives are those that “are practical or feasible from the technical and economic standpoint and using common sense, rather than simply desirable from the standpoint of the applicant” (Council on Environmental Quality, 1981; see IV.A. below for reference). The range of alternatives to be considered should include at minimum:
1) alternative ways of meeting the project sponsor’s purpose and need at the same location; 2) alternative locations; and 3) the “no action” alternative. The evaluation of the environmental impacts of all reasonable alternatives must be presented in comparative form to provide a clear basis for choosing among options. If alternatives are eliminated from further analysis, either the environmental document or a separate alternatives analysis must discuss the reasons for elimination.
B. Criteria for Identifying Practicable Alternatives (Section 404) For transportation projects, generally, an alternative is practicable if it:
1) meets the purpose and need; 2) is available and capable of being done (i.e., it can be accomplished within the financial resources that could reasonably be made available, and it is feasible from the standpoint of technology and logistics); and 3) will not create other unacceptable impacts such as severe operation or safety problems, or serious socioeconomic or environmental impacts. Alternatives can be eliminated at any stage if they are not “reasonable” (NEPA and SEPA), or if they are not “practicable” (404). However, the reasons for eliminating an alternative from detailed analysis need to be documented and discussed in the document prepared at that stage. Based on this information, the project sponsor must get signatory agencies’ concurrence that there are no other less environmentally damaging practicable alternatives than those identified.
C. Consideration of Other Environmental Impacts The Clean Water Act 404(b)(1) Guidelines require that the practicable alternative that would involve the least adverse impact to aquatic resources be chosen unless this alternative would have other significant environmental consequences (40 CFR § 230.10(a)). Similarly, Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act allows the transportation agency to reject an alternative as not feasible and prudent if “unacce...
Alternative Selection if the Standing Referee appointed as the Referee under Section 1.4(a)(v) [Selection of Standing Referee] of this Schedule 20 [Dispute Resolution Procedure] notifies the parties that he or she is unable to act as the Referee due to a conflict of interest, illness, travel, or other legitimate reason, within 2 Business Days of the Standing Referee’s notice, the parties will appoint the Referee in accordance with the protocol provided for in Section 1.4(b) [During the Operating Period] of this Schedule 20 [Dispute Resolution Procedure].
Alternative Selection. The City of Fayetteville Project Manager has indicated the following alternative have been selected and will be further analyzed in Milestone B: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Street and CSX Bridges (Alternative 1) – Preliminary Design through 60% Plans (ROW).
Alternative Selection. After the feasibility analysis is complete, site visits are conducted for recommended sites to ground check assumptions made during desktop analysis. After site visits are completed, project summary sheets are created and updates to data and mapping are made.
