The 8-step process outlined in the document provides guidelines for federally assisted projects proposed in flood hazard areas. The 8 steps are: 1) Determine if the site is in a 100-year floodplain, 2) Provide early public notice and comment period, 3) Evaluate alternative sites and project alternatives, 4) Identify potential impacts, 5) Minimize impacts by limiting fill and preserving drainage, 6) Reevaluate the project feasibility, 7) Publish a final notice and justification if no alternative is feasible, and 8) Implement the project while continuing monitoring to ensure mitigation measures are carried out.
