Preferred Alternative Clause Examples

Preferred Alternative. Based on the direction of the CLT and feedback from the Council, we will refine the preferred charrette alternative plans by incorporating comments from the summary and review in a call. We will review markups and sketches with the CLT and establish a preferred direction that will be refined as the master pln.

Preferred Alternative. The Xxxxxx\Xxxxxxx team will develop a preferred alternative based on public support, how well an investment meets regional goals and objectives, and the evaluation criteria developed in

Preferred Alternative. On March 21, 2019, the PDT evaluated the alternatives under consideration and identified the Build (Preferred) Alternative as the Preferred Alternative (PA) for the SR-91 Improvement Project. As part of the evaluation, considerations were given to the project purpose and need; input from the public and government agencies; local, regional, state, and federal goals and policies; as well as environmental, social, and economic impacts. After reviewing these factors, seven evaluation criteria were established to compare the alternatives, as shown in Table 16. The PDT also determined a weight factor for each of the evaluation criteria based on the relative importance that was applied to the final score. The alternatives were then compared and ranked for their relative performance, and the scores were computed. 1 Improve Capacity EB from SR-57 to SR-55 3 1 2 3 6

Preferred Alternative. As a result of early comments from NCPC staff in NEPA scoping comments and in subsequent conversations with NCPC and SHPO, the design team developed Alternative 2 with the goal of minimizing or eliminating adverse indirect effects on historic properties (Attachment 2). Developed with input from the Chinese design team, this alternative responds to comments related to the potential adverse visual effect of the pagoda element of the National China Garden on historic properties. This alternative places the pagoda at a slightly higher elevation than the Alternative 1 and within the wooded area to the west of the existing clearing.

Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Action consists of exchanging the NGPC tract for the BELF tract and subsequently assigning the Federal interest to the newly-acquired BELF tract. Mineral rights would be transferred with the properties exchanged. After acquiring the BELF tract, NGPC would: • allow public access for hunting and outdoor recreation on the tract; • create a firebreak along the road right-of-way by thinning the existing Ponderosa Pine; • construct new fencing to prevent cattle from accessing the tract from adjacent private lands; • include the tract in the program for eradicating noxious weeds on the WMA which is conducted each year; and • conduct routine operation and maintenance activities, such as trash removal, fence maintenance, and public signing After BELF receives the 27.3-acre NGPC parcel, it is anticipated that the property would be leased to an adjacent landowner who currently holds leases for grazing on other lands in that area. If BELF would leases the land for agricultural purposes, public use of that parcel would be allowed at the discretion of the private party holding the lease. Construction of fencing on the parcel would be anticipated to prevent livestock from leaving the parcel and entering other adjacent private lands. The Xxxxxxx-Xxxxx NGPC WMA tract is currently appraised at $29,500.00 and the BELF tract at $18,500.00. Appraisals and appraisal reviews for both tracts are current and have been prepared in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices and Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions. NGPC would reimburse the monetary difference in value ($11,000.00) to the Wildlife Restoration Grant Program, and those funds would then be available to NGPC for future obligation on eligible WR grants. A draft copy of the Exchange Agreement between NGPC and BELF detailing specific provisions of the transaction is attached (see Appendix A).‌

Preferred Alternative. Under the Preferred Alternative, FWS will continue to provide funding, as modified by certain mitigation provisions, for operations of CDFG’s 14 trout hatcheries and the Mad River Hatchery for steelhead, and associated stocking of fish produced at those hatcheries. Although hatchery operations will remain unchanged from those conducted during the last 5 years, decisions on stocking of trout will be made using a statewide tiered review process that emphasizes protection of native, sensitive, or legally protected species. In high mountain lake areas where Aquatic Biodiversity Management Plans (ABMPs) have been 51874 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 194 / Thursday, October 8, 2009 / Notices prepared, stocking will continue to follow guidelines that ensure expansion of habitats for native amphibians and fish. In areas without ABMPs, trout stocking will be based on site-specific evaluations of risk to native, sensitive, or legally protected species. Where appropriate surveys have yet to be completed, stocking will be suspended until the appropriate evaluations have been completed. ABMPs or other similar plans may be developed and implemented prior to reinitiation of stocking in those locations. Depending on the specific location, such plans could include eradication of nonnative fish from water bodies currently or formerly harboring sensitive native species, genetic analysis of native fish to determine degree of hybridization, cessation of nonnative trout stocking in waters occupied by native trout populations, and implementation of measures consistent with FWS recovery plans and CDFG management plans. Stocking of Mad River steelhead will continue with measures intended to reduce the interaction between hatchery reared fish and naturally reproducing populations and consistent with the Draft Hatchery and Genetic Management Plan submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service. The Fishing in the City and Classroom Aquarium Education Programs will continue under uniform protocols developed to ensure that stocking locations are properly screened to protect native, sensitive, and legally protected species. Implementation of Program activities following development of any ABMPs or uniform protocols for the Fishing in the City and Classroom Aquarium Education Programs may require additional, site-specific NEPA compliance tiered from the EIR/EIS.

Preferred Alternative. Once a preferred trail alignment alternative has been selected, the route will be depicted on a GIS-based map. The Consultant will develop up to four (4) drawings or graphics to further illustrate road crossings, structures, or cross sections and elevations of interest. These illustrations and drawings may be used to further communicate the trail concept to stakeholders and the public.

Preferred Alternative. Following the screening process, the Engineer shall coordinate with Xxxxxxxxxx County and BOR to identify the preferred alternative. Following selection, the Engineer shall develop a schematic design showing the preferred improvements to the Silos Recreation Area and recommended phasing. The schematic design will be adequately detailed to gain Xxxxxxxxxx County and BOR review and approval, to meet future grant/other funding application requirements, and to establish the standards and references to be used in future design plans. Construction-ready drawings or specifications will not be prepared for the Master Plan Task Order.

Preferred Alternative. Prepare screening objectives and criteria to evaluate two alternatives. Evaluate the alternatives according to the criteria and establish preferred alternative. Provide robust justification for alternatives that best meet the objective and criteria.
