Mitigation of Adverse Environmental Effects. The successful Contractor agrees that if the project should cause adverse environmental effects, the successful Contractor will take all reasonable steps to minimize those effects in accordance with 49 U.S.C. § 5324(b), and all other applicable federal laws and regulations, specifically, the procedures of 23 C.F.R. Part 771 and 49 C.F.R. Part 622. The successful Contractor agrees to undertake all environmental mitigation measures that may be identified as commitments in applicable environmental documents (such as environmental assessments, environmental impact statements, memoranda of agreement, and statements required by 49 U.S.C. § 303) and with any conditions the federal government has imposed in its finding of no significant impact or a record of decision. Those mitigation measures are incorporated by reference and made part of the Grant Agreement or Cooperative Agreement. As soon as the federal government and the successful Contractor reach agreement on any deferred mitigation measures, those measures will then be incorporated by reference and made part of the Grant Agreement or Cooperative Agreement. The successful Contractor agrees that any mitigation measures agreed upon may not be modified or withdrawn without the express written approval of the federal government.
