1010.13—Trust decision-making procedures.
To ensure that at major decision-making points all relevant environmental concerns are considered by the decision-maker, the following procedures are established.
(a)
An environmental document (i.e., the EA, finding of no significant impact, EIS, or notice of intent), in addition to being prepared at the earliest point in the decision-making process, shall accompany the relevant proposal or action through the Trust's decision-making process to ensure adequate consideration of environmental factors.
(b)
The Trust shall consider in its decision-making process only decision alternatives encompassed by the range of alternatives discussed in the relevant environmental documents. Also, where an EIS has been prepared, the Trust shall consider all alternatives described in the EIS, a written record of the consideration of alternatives during the decision-making process shall be maintained, and a monitoring and enforcement program shall be adopted and summarized where applicable for any mitigation.
(c)
Any environmental document prepared for a proposal or action shall be made part of the record of any formal rulemaking by the Trust.
