Now, besides the water management districts, the FDOT and other state DOTs have to procure permits from a bevy of affected environmental agencies, mostly federal, such as the U.S.

13 The focus of this research was to discover or formulate a method for agencies to coordinate the NEPA process, the environmental-permitting process, and the CRP, so that the maximum number of worthy ideas from industry might be integrated into the design, with minimal NEPA re-evaluations and environmental-permitting process replications. Any method developed was to be presented in such a way as to work with, or be integrated into, a decision-making framework.

14 SCOPE OF STUDY This research project aimed at developing a decision-making framework to help transportation agency decision-makers resolve questions related to the appropriate CRP for any particular transportation construction project. To accomplish this, the research team performed a comprehensive literature review, followed by preliminary phone interviews with knowledgeable staff at all 52 U.S.
