Scoping Phase
1. Design scope – project data, schedule, specialties, budget, and key concerns
2. Design Scoping Review (DSR)- Early review of a project prior to preliminary design
Slide 5
Scoping involves two main steps:

R
CDOT Procedural Directive 512.1 and Project development manual
Stormwater Information
o Involves state and potentially local agencies, design-build contractors or consultant specialists, and the CDOT Project Design Team to complete
o Stormwater information must be obtained by the SWMP Administrator for Design from various sources and incorporated into the SWMP
o How is the information obtained?
Scoping and Introduction to the Case Study 6
Information Sources - Scoping Forms/Documents
o DSR Meeting Questions
o Form 463
o CDOT SWMP Informational Request Document
• Sent to Design Engineer (or can be used to get HQ LA involved with a project)
• Identifies Information Needs

Design Engineer
11Scoping and Introduction to the Case Study
• Provides SWMP Administrator for Design with access to project files
• Gives basic design and purpose of the project
• Answers project questions
• Adds SWMP quantities to overall engineering costs.
NEPA specialist
12Scoping and Introduction to the Case Study
• Provides SWMP Administrator for Design with NEPA report
• Gives information and restrictions about wetlands, cultural resources, and threatened and endangered species or wildlife restrictions
• Answers project NEPA questions
• Provides mapping for areas that cannot be impacted by the project

Scoping and Introduction to the Case Study
Importance of DSR
16
o Reduces risks by ensuring critical issues are addressed
o Scoping sets the stage for further field inventory and prep of FIR documents including the 30-40% draft of the SWMP discussed in the next few modules

Design Tracking Tool
17
Form 1048 is a review list (tracking tool) intended to be filled out as the project moves through design from scoping to AD.

Environmental Scoping Checklist
18
The Environmental Scoping Checklist has been developed by some regions
o To identify what topics:
• Have been addressed
• Are ongoing
• Are completed
Scoping and Introduction to the Case Study
SWMP Checklist
19
The SWMP Checklist has been developed by CDOT HQ as a guidance document.
o To provide consistency for CDOT SWMPs
o Allow for easy cross checking for elements
o Support stormwater compliance
