The organizer of the visit may lead it. It can be conducted as a walk or drive around the site. The visit should be narrated, so that participants are aware of where the proposal affects the land. Viewpoints from all participants are heard during the visit. The agency makes sure each participant can view and react to the site and the proposal.
Direct input is solicited.
Summing-up should be done promptly. Participants may gather and discuss what they experienced. A written record should be prepared, including a list of participants, items to investigate further, and areas in which there was agreement and disagreement. CACs are good candidates for site visits. CAC members can be selected from visit participants.
