These alternatives should be feasible and different enough in expected consequences to offer the deciding officer a reasonable choice. Assign a theme or name to each action to show how it differs in approach from other actions. Check to see that the combination makes sense and is feasible. Also consider activities that are controversial with stakeholders. For each activity to be refined, describe modification mitigation s, or adaptive responses as refinement options.
Modifications are structural changes in the activity itself.
Mitigations are additional activities or standards to forestall or compensate for the activity's effects. Adaptive responses are planned shifts in activity in response to monitoring signals. For each adaptive response, indicate the future event or monitoring signal that would prompt a response, and the range of options future managers may have to deal with these possibilities. Team members and stakeholders may differ in their recommendations about what action to take because they differ in their interpretation of the problem. Too, there may be great uncertainty about the activity options.
