Examples could include the extent to which proposed investments are in areas that have an established regional transportation-land use vision or a determination if a project is within a vital area for wildlife or water quality, as defined by a habitat or water quality plan. • Screening Process – At several linkages a screening process is suggested.

• Use consistency process or prioritization algorithm to prioritize and select projects. • Air Quality measures support this process; and • Potential future ‘conformity' or consistency processes for GHG emissions or other natural resources.

Specific applications of value include: • Impact assessment for proposed facilities or programs of projects on water quality, habitat, and historic and cultural resources; and • Analysis of the implications of various climate change scenarios on infrastructure vulnerability. In the short term, there is an existing Environmental Information Management System (EIMS)
