	At the location/conceptual plan stage, a desktop review is done of the project. Very simple projects may gain [[127.14 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Classification and Documents\|NEPA approval]]. For more complicated projects, NEPA may be approved in the next stage of design. If NEPA has been completed and approved, Environmental staff will update the NEPA Approval/Proceed to A-date Request field on the RES. If right-of-way or easements are anticipated for a project, landowner permissions should be obtained during this timeframe. Indicate in the RES the desired A-date to assist staff at scheduling work.

			For the types of projects listed above as having “minimal environmental impact” and that may have many separate locations (i.e. more than 10) it is recommended that the Environmental and Historic Preservation office be contacted to discuss whether it may be possible to lump all locations onto one RES location form.

	At this milestone, field work for permits and clearances are completed. All NEPA approvals need to be in hand before ~~preliminary plans~~ are ~~approved.

At this milestone, field work for permits and clearances are completed. All NEPA approvals need to be in hand before final design activities are begun or risk the loss of federal funds. Preliminary plans design and approval may occur prior to NEPA approval. Preliminary plan and final plan definitions are found in [[:Category:235 Preliminary Plans\|EPG 235]].

	A response will be prepared and returned to the district in 30 days from the date an RES is received. This 30-day turn-around time could be affected by the completeness of the submitted RES, staff workload, and changing priorities. The RES response indicates identified concerns and advises the district of what actions remain to be accomplished by district Environmental and Historic Preservation staff. The goal of this process is to position projects to be compliant with environmental law and regulation before letting. When the RES response is received, read and respond to District Action Items identified in each resource section.

	Many projects will require RES submittals at all the major milestones or at least annually. An RES must be submitted at the Location/Conceptual stage for '''every''' project (typically when the project is added to the Scoping section of the STIP). This allows staff time to schedule and prioritize work ~~identify~~ in the desktop review~~, project~~ that may take longer to clear than others. The preliminary plans RES is the most important RES submittal for Environmental and Historic Preservation staff. This is when there is enough design information to complete a large portion of the field work and permitting or clearances.

	Some projects involve activities that cause very little disruption to the natural and human environment, if any. An RES must be submitted at the Location/Conceptual stage (typically when project is placed in the Scoping section of the STIP), at preliminary plans stage, and then again at final design stage, at least 60 days before PS&E due date. The Project Manager will receive a notification 60 days before PS&E due date if a final design stage RES has not been submitted. However, an RES must be submitted for any project that has had no activity for a year since the last RES. The types of projects that may require only two RESs to be submitted are those that involve:		Some projects involve activities that cause very little disruption to the natural and human environment, if any.
