Environmental decisions Sample Clauses
Environmental decisions. There was considerable variability in the types of decisions made across the different stakeholder groups and tiers of local government (figure 2). This variability can partly be explained by the nature of activities each stakeholder group was involved in. For example, the “hunting and recreational animals” category identified the majority of issues related to species management, whereas the recreational access category identified the majority of issues related to socio-economic decisions.

Environmental decisions. Acquisi- tion of property under this section shall not influence the environmental assessment of a project, including the decision relative to the need to con- struct the project or the selection of a specific location.
(a) Donations of property being ac- quired. A non-governmental owner whose real property is required for a Federal-aid project may donate the property to the STD. Prior to accept- ing the property, the owner must be in- formed by the agency of his/her right to receive just compensation for the property. The owner shall also be in- formed of his/her right to an appraisal of the property by a qualified ap- praiser, unless the STD determines that an appraisal is unnecessary be- cause the valuation problem is uncom- plicated and the fair market value is estimated at no more than $2500, or the State appraisal waiver limit approved by the FHWA, whichever is greater. All donations of property received prior to the approval of the NEPA document must meet environmental require- ments as specified in 23 U.S.C. 323(d).
