Balance transportation system needs with natural resource functions and processes. Design for long-term sustainability. Avoid, minimize, and offset impacts to human and cultural resources. Build projects that are sensitive to communities and their landscapes. Preserve scenic, aesthetic, and historic resources. Do not disproportionately affect environmental justice populations. Maintain safety and mobility. From project start to finish, employ efficient and cost effective project delivery practices. Collaborate with stakeholders throughout project development. Find opportunities to reduce time needed for project delivery processes. Natural Resources Human and Cultural Resources Administrative Processes Rule Level

4. PrinciplesMeans & methods to meet the principles Avoid, minimize, and offset impacts to natural resources. -- Time activities to avoid/minimize sensitive periods -- Cease work if impacts exceed acceptable thresholds -- Isolate work areas from sensitive species habitats -- Limit magnitude of impacts -- Provide compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts -- Etc. Pursue affordable resource enhancement opportunities. -- Use/recycle waste materials for enhancements -- Plantings -- Etc. Balance transportation system needs with natural resource functions and processes. -- Seek consensus with stakeholders -- Develop programmatic agreements -- Etc. Design for long-term sustainability.-- Account for potential climate change impacts to regional hydrology, habitats, and species. -- Enhance reuse and recycle construction debris -- Etc.
