Appendix A— Example Documentation Formats 



Note. — This appendix is provided for background information, 

 (a) Introduction. (1) This appendix provides examples of tables 

 that can be used to record the results of EQ evaluation ac- 

 tivities. The tables and the activities are as follows: 



(i) Table 1— Identity resources activity (3.4.3). 



(li) Table 2— Develop evaluation framework activity (3.4.4). 



(iii) Table 3— Survey existing conditions activity (3.4.6) 



(IV) Table 4— Forecast without-plans conditions activity (3.4.7). 



(v) Table 5— Forecast with-plan conditions activity (3.4.8). 



(vi) Table 6— Identify effects activity (3.4.10). 



(vii) Table 7— Describe effects activity (3.4.11). 



(viii) Table 8— Determine significant effects activity (3.4.12). 



(ix) Table 9 — Appraise significant effects activity (3.4.14(b)), 



appraisal of effects on indicators, 

 (x) Table 10— Appraise significant effects activity (3.4.14(c)), 



appraisal of effects on attnbutes. 



(2) The tables are intended for use as working documents; if 

 developed for a given EQ evaluation, they could be included 

 as an appendix to an agency's planning document or EIS 

 (see 40 CFR 1502.10(k) and 1502.18). 



(3) See 3.4.9(d) for a discussion of other documentation for- 

 mats that may be used to record the results of EQ evalua- 

 tion. 



(b) Table examples. In addition to format guidance, this ap- 

 pendix presents examples of how the results of EQ evalua- 

 tion activities could be recorded in the table format. The ex- 

 amples are presented as an aid to follow through the EQ 

 evaluation process. The examples are based on the follow- 

 ing hypothetical water resources planning situation: 



(1) An alternative plan, designated Plan A, was formulated for 

 the Pine Valley area to address the following problems and 

 opportunities: 



(i) Periodic flooding of a portion of the town of Pine Valley due 



to overtopping of the natural streambanks of Pine Creek, 

 (ii) The existing stream channel is eroding badly, endangering 



an Indian winter camp site (Pine Valley Village), 

 (iii) Pine Valley is noted for its natural beauty, and many 



people visit the area to view the valley and its surroundings, 

 (iv) Pine Valley is a major deer fawning area for the Pine 



Mountain deer herd. 



(2) Plan A, which consists of a two-mile long levee, was for- 

 mulated to protect the town from flooding, and the Indian 

 village site from being destroyed by streambank erosion. 

 However, construction of the levee would require removal of 

 streamside nparian vegetation along the nght bank of Pine 

 Creek. This vegetation compnses most of the fawning area 

 for the Pine Mountain deer herd. 



(3) Figure 1 presents a map of this planning setting.
