Instructions:

Use this checklist to document the evaluation of social, economic and environmental issues for Maintenance and Simple projects.

1. Whenever the evaluation indicates the presence of a resource or the need for further investigation into the presence of a resource, check the YES checkbox in the “Presence or Analysis Needed” column and document the issue in the DAD (Design Approval Document), such as IPP/FDR or PSR/FDR. This documentation must indicate the location, extent and a full description of the resource appropriate to determine any impacts or effects.

2. Once enough information is available, the “Impact or Issue” checkboxes must be checked either YES or NO. For any YES answer, appropriate documentation must be included in the report (IPP/FDR, PSR/FDR) section that documented the presence of the resource under #1 above. This documentation must include the nature and size or extent of an impact; measures taken to avoid or minimize impacts; and any mitigation being provided. Documentation for each issue should clearly note any necessary approvals and/or expected permits.

Prior to seeking approval (“design approval”) of the DAD, this checklist and the appropriate sections of the DAD should be reviewed to ensure checkmarks and statements are valid and also for consistency between the checklist and DAD sections.
