Coordination Plan (CP) and Impact Analysis Methodologies (IAM)
The CP is a tool that identifies how the project team will interact with the public regulatory agencies and local officials throughout the study. The CP is meant to promote an efficient and streamlined process through coordination, scheduling, and early resolution of issues.
The purpose of the IAM is to communicate and document the approach to analyzing potential impacts for the study. The IAM is intended to promote an efficient and streamlined process and early resolution of concerns or issues.
