Answer B: Early environmental planning that addresses potential environmental issues at the planning stage rather than through site-by-site remediation

Early environmental planning for large master-planned communities identifies and addresses potential environmental issues (hazardous materials, biological resources, cultural resources, water quality) at the planning stage, reducing costs and delays compared to parcel-by-parcel review.
