4. PRECONSTRUCTION PLANS REQUIRED BY MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 List of Plans Required and Submission/Review Schedule

PPSI is required by the terms of the mitigation measures and the permitting requirements of various other regulating agencies to prepare numerous plans and permits for approval prior to construction. Copies of these plans are retained in Aspen's office, and additional copies of the plans most relevant to field monitoring responsibilities will be kept at Aspen's field office. All plans are listed in Exhibit 2.

Many of the plans listed in Exhibit 2 have been submitted and approved as of April 1997. It should be noted that several permit documents have also been submitted to Aspen by PPSI (as also listed in the exhibit). While these documents are being reviewed by the approving agencies, these plans are also being reviewed for compliance with mitigation measures where such measures recommended that specific information be included in submittals to responsible agencies.

As also shown in the Exhibit 2, some plans are not required to be approved prior to construction, but will likely be submitted during the construction phase. They will be reviewed within 60 days of Aspen's receipt of the completed submittal.

4.2 Required Reviews; Review Guidelines; Deliverables

The Aspen team, including Program Management staff and the Expert Technical Reviewers, will review and provide comments on mitigation plans submitted as required by permit conditions. Comments will be provided to PPSI on the mitigation plans in order that they are both effective and accomplish the intended reduction in impacts, including assurance that objective performance (success) criteria are in place before monitoring begins.

The management and technical review team will review each plan prior to the start of construction, providing comments to PPSI regarding the adequacy of each plan with respect to the following:

* Compliance with all provisions of the mitigation measures and Applicant proposed measures
* Consistency with the FEIR and EIS/SEIR mitigation requirements
* Adequacy of mitigation and recommended modifications
* Adequacy of performance standards and recommended modifications
* Adequacy of field verification methods and recommended modifications
* Review of any hierarchical relationships/work charts presented by PPSI.

Deliverables will include a report on each plan or permit reviewed, in addition to a copy of the plan itself with marginal notes or comments, if appropriate.
