<a id="pl.88.28"></a><var>88.28</var>    (1) the proposed action is:<br/>
<a id="pl.88.29"></a><var>88.29</var>    (i) an animal feedlot facility with a capacity of less than 1,000 animal units; or<br/>

<a id="pl.89.1"></a><var>89.1</var>animal feedlot facility unless another public meeting for citizen input has been held with <br/>
<a id="pl.89.2"></a><var>89.2</var>regard to the feedlot facility to be permitted. The exemption in this paragraph is in <br/>
<a id="pl.89.3"></a><var>89.3</var>addition to other exemptions provided under other law and rules of the board.<br/>
<a id="pl.89.4"></a><var>89.4</var>    (e) The board may, prior to final approval of a proposed project, require preparation <br/>

<a id="pl.89.6"></a><var>89.6</var>by the board for any action where environmental review under this section has not been <br/>
<a id="pl.89.7"></a><var>89.7</var>specifically provided for by rule or otherwise initiated.<br/>
<a id="pl.89.8"></a><var>89.8</var>    (f) An early and open process shall be utilized to limit the scope of the environmental <br/>
<a id="pl.89.9"></a><var>89.9</var>impact statement to a discussion of those impacts, which, because of the nature or location <br/>
<a id="pl.89.10"></a><var>89.10</var>of the project, have the potential for significant environmental effects. The same process <br/>
<a id="pl.89.11"></a><var>89.11</var>shall be utilized to determine the form, content and level of detail of the statement as well <br/>
<a id="pl.89.12"></a><var>89.12</var>as the alternatives which are appropriate for consideration in the statement. In addition, <br/>
<a id="pl.89.13"></a><var>89.13</var>the permits which will be required for the proposed action shall be identified during the <br/>
<a id="pl.89.14"></a><var>89.14</var>scoping process. Further, the process shall identify those permits for which information <br/>
<a id="pl.89.15"></a><var>89.15</var>will be developed concurrently with the environmental impact statement. The board <br/>
<a id="pl.89.16"></a><var>89.16</var>shall provide in its rules for the expeditious completion of the scoping process. The <br/>
<a id="pl.89.17"></a><var>89.17</var>determinations reached in the process shall be incorporated into the order requiring the <br/>

<a id="pl.89.20"></a><var>89.20</var>duplication and ensure coordination between state and federal environmental review <br/>
<a id="pl.89.21"></a><var>89.21</var>and between environmental review and environmental permitting. Whenever practical, <br/>
<a id="pl.89.22"></a><var>89.22</var>information needed by a governmental unit for making final decisions on permits or <br/>
<a id="pl.89.23"></a><var>89.23</var>other actions required for a proposed project shall be developed in conjunction with the <br/>

<a id="pl.89.29"></a><var>89.29</var>days after notice is published that an environmental impact statement will be prepared, <br/>
<a id="pl.89.30"></a><var>89.30</var>the board chooses to determine the adequacy of an environmental impact statement. If an <br/>
<a id="pl.89.31"></a><var>89.31</var>environmental impact statement is found to be inadequate, the responsible governmental <br/>
<a id="pl.89.32"></a><var>89.32</var>unit shall have 60 days to prepare an adequate environmental impact statement.<br/>

<a id="pl.90.3"></a><var>90.3</var>used to substantiate the analysis contained in the preliminary draft environmental impact <br/>
<a id="pl.90.4"></a><var>90.4</var>statement. The responsible governmental unit shall require additional studies, if needed, <br/>
<a id="pl.90.5"></a><var>90.5</var>and obtain from the project proposer all additional studies and information necessary for <br/>
<a id="pl.90.6"></a><var>90.6</var>the responsible governmental unit to perform its responsibility to review, modify, and <br/>
