11 CLICK PERMITTING TO EDIT REFORM MASTER RECOMMENDATIONS TITLE STYLE STREAMLINE PERMITTING Unnecessary delays from changeover in people, policies, concepts and procedures process should only take 2-3 years STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS TO PERMIT CHALLENGES Should be shortened to 180 days vs. 5+ years to avoid further delays of litigation FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SUPPLY PROJECTS Water supply lowest priority and lowest funded program of USACE need Congress to approve more funding and resources ESTABLISHING PURPOSE & NEED Population and demand projections developed/approved by state should be sufficient USE OF BEST AVAILABLE INFORMATION Applicants shouldn t be required to develop new or updated information late in permitting process recommend statutory deadline. Applicant and agencies should have binding agreement on impact assessment methods required for evaluation. COMPENSATORY MITIGATION Environmental benefits of supply projects should be considered as offsets to impacts
