Section 4(f) specifies that 'THE Secretary of Transportation may approve a transportation program or project... requiring the use of publicly owned land of a public park, recreation area, or wildlife and waterfowl refuge of national, State, or local significance, or land of an historic site of national, State, or local significance (as determined by the Federal, State, or local officials having jurisdiction over the park, area refuge, or site) only if (1) there is no prudent and feasible alternative to using that land; and (2) the program or project includes all possible planning to minimize harm to the park, recreation area, wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or historic site resulting from the use.' In general, a section 4(f) 'use' occurs with a Department of Transportation approved project or program when (1) section 4(f) land is permanently incorporated into a transportation facility; (2) when there is a temporary occupancy of section 4(f) land that is adverse in terms of the section 4(f) preservationist purposes as determined by specified criteria (23 CFR 771.135 P 7)
