(a) Avoiding the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or parts of an action;

(b) Minimizing the 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 impact to critical areas by repairing, rehabilitating or restoring the affected critical area and/or its buffer;

(d) Minimizing or eliminating a hazard by restoring or stabilizing the critical area through engineered or other methods;

(e) Reducing or eliminating the impact over time by preservation and/or maintenance operations during the life of the development proposal;

(f) Compensating for the adverse impact by enhancing critical areas and their buffers or creating replacement critical areas and their buffers; and

(g) Monitoring the hazard and/or success of required mitigation and taking remedial action as necessary.
