Record of Decision

A Record of Decision (ROD) is an official document that outlines the final decision made by agencies after assessing environmental impacts of a proposed project. It summarizes the findings from an environmental review process, detailing the chosen alternative, reasons for that choice, and any measures to mitigate negative effects on the environment. The ROD is important for transparency, ensuring that stakeholders and the public understand the decision-making process and the rationale behind it. It serves as a key element in environmental compliance and guides future actions regarding the project.
