A. Avoiding the adverse impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action;

B. Minimizing adverse impacts by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action and its implementation, by using appropriate technology, or by taking affirmative steps, such as project redesign, relocation, or timing, to avoid or reduce impacts;

C. Rectifying the adverse impact to wetlands, critical aquifer recharge areas, special flood hazard areas, and habitat conservation areas by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring the affected environment to the historical conditions or the conditions existing at the time of the initiation of the project;

D. Minimizing or eliminating the hazard by restoring or stabilizing the hazard area through engineered or other methods;

E. Reducing or eliminating the adverse impact or hazard over time by preservation and maintenance operations during the life of the action;

F. Compensating for the adverse impact to wetlands, critical aquifer recharge areas, special flood hazard areas, and habitat conservation areas by replacing, enhancing, or providing substitute resources or environments; and

G. Monitoring the hazard or other required mitigation and taking remedial action when necessary.
