Based off STB- FRA rules an Executive Order 11988 Floodplain Management Issued in May 1977, this Executive Order directs Federal Agencies to: 1. assert leadership in reducing flood losses and losses to environmental values served by floodplains; 2. avoid actions located in or adversely affecting floodplains unless there is no practicable alternative; *There are several practical alternatives - 3. take action to mitigate losses if avoidance is not practicable; and 4. establishes a process for flood hazard evaluation based upon the 100-year base flood standard of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It also directed Federal agencies to issue implementing procedures; provided a consultation mechanism for developing the implementing procedures; and provided oversight mechanisms. Please see above as we have several alternative solutions to this problem to avoid flood plain disruption then running a railroad through sensitive areas of wetlands, streams rivers and creeks
