- W643343329 abstract "The recent federal guidance entitled Eco-Logical: An Ecosystem Approach to Developing Infrastructure Projects, encourages agencies to strategically and cooperatively target ecosystem-based mitigation toward regional conservation priorities, early in the project planning and review process, thereby prioritizing resource allocation and potentially fulfilling regulatory obligations in advance of final design and construction, thus reducing costly delays in project delivery. Eco-Logical defines ecosystem-based mitigation as “the process of restoring, creating, enhancing, and preserving habitat and other ecosystem features in conjunction with or in advance of projects in areas where environmental needs and the potential environmental contributions have been determined to be greatest.” (Brown 2006) When ecosystem-based mitigation is accomplished early in the planning of infrastructure projects, agencies capitalize on meaningful conservation priorities and opportunities that may be vanishing or becoming prohibitively expensive over time, increasing the cost-effectiveness of the mitigation investments. Simultaneously, advanced mitigation planning can be targeted to fulfill regulatory requirements to avoid costly permitting delays in project development and delivery. Building on the guidance compiled in Eco-Logical, an interagency group in created the Integrated Transportation and Ecosystem Enhancements for Montana (ITEEM) process. The broad objective of the ITEEM process is to streamline transportation program delivery while applying more effective ecosystem conservation. More specifically, the goal of the ITEEM process is to collaboratively identify information, issues and opportunities that will be useful in developing alternatives for offsetting adverse impacts associated with multiple transportation projects within a given region. These goals were developed based on the following desired outcomes: (1) Conservation: Protection of larger scale, multi-resource ecosystems; (2) Connectivity: Enhanced or restored habitat connectivity and reduced habitat fragmentation; (3) Early Involvement: Early identification of transportation and ecological issues and opportunities; (4) Cost Efficiency: Making the best use of transportation program funding by focusing mitigation efforts where they would be most effective; (5) Cooperation: Finding solution s acceptable to all participating agencies; (6) Predictability: Knowledge that commitments made early in the planning process by all agencies will be honored – that the planning and conservation agreements, results, and outcomes will occur as agreed; (7) and Transparency: Better stakeholder involvement to establish credibility, build trust, and streamline infrastructure planning and development. Concluding with the unfolding story of the pilot study progress to date, successes and lessons learned of the pilot study will be discussed. It is hoped that this case study provides encouragement and insights to help others develop their own ecosystem approach to streamline transportation project delivery while mitigating adverse impacts where the conservation efforts are most needed." @default.
