# §1000.1385. What is the typical environmental review process for construction projects?

- (a) During the environmental review process, the following activities may occur:
  - (1) Consult with appropriate Tribal, Federal, state, local officials, and interested parties on potential environmental effects;
  - (2) Document assessment of reasonably foreseeable environmental effects;
  - (3) Perform necessary environmental surveys and inventories;
  - (4) Consult with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, acting through the SHPO or THPO, to ensure compliance with the NHPA;
  - (5) In applying a categorical exclusion under NEPA, evaluate whether extraordinary circumstances exist in which a normally excluded project may have a significant effect, and therefore require preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact statement;
  - (6) Identify methods to avoid or mitigate potential adverse effects; and
  - (7) **Obtain environmental permits and approvals as required.**
