Project proposals, whether site-specific, corridor, or large-scale, must be described using plans, sketches, simulations, or narratives in sufficient detail so that the expected changes in the landscape features (landform/water, vegetation, and structu4es) can be visualized. If a proposal does not contain sufficient detailed information, it must ve obtained or the assumptions clearly documented. Use the following checklist as a guide when identifying the information needed for each proposal:

1. General
   1. Type of project.
   2. Specific location(s).
   3. Proposed methods of operation form preplanning and design through project completion.
   4. Size and magnitude.
   5. Time period of operation, including specific phasing and discrete operation.
   6. Specific committed standard operational procedures of proposal.
   7. Projected ultimate land use and adjacent land use..
2. Specific.
   1. Feature: Landform and Water.
      1. Exact location of undertaking, and depth of excavation and fill (horizontal, vertical, and slope).
      2. Color of the exposed soils, subsoils, bedrock, overburden, or fill material when major excavations or fills are anticipated.
      3. Anticipated water coloration where reservoir, tailing areas, etc., are planned.
      4. Timing and duration of exposed excavation or fill.
      5. Methods of operation, how long each phase of the operation will last.
      6. Reshaping after use, including final landform appearance (grades, slopes, drainage patterns).
      7. Anticipated ultimate use.
   2. Feature: Vegetation.
      1. Exact location and method of vegetative manipulation (extent of clearing and modification).
      2. Size and magnitude of change.
      3. Type, location, method, quantity, and timing of replacing and/or receding.
   3. Feature: Structures.
      1. Exact locations where structures are to be placed withing the project areas.
      2. Design of structures.
         1. Size and type.
         2. Form.
         3. Texture(s) and color(s) of exterior material and construction method to be used).
      3. Life expectancy.
      4. Operations and maintenance (schedule and methods).
