SCHEDULE AND PROGRESS
Final Tier 1 EIS
Will address key impacts to
the extent necessary to
make a decision. Other analysis will be needed during project
implementation to develop final mitigation and
adaptive management
plans.

Expect to use alternatives analysis and qualitative
comparison to winnow down to 1 to 2 alternatives at this
stage
Alternatives Analysis will include affected environment description, understanding
of FWOPC, qualitative environmental
consequences discussion, conceptual mitigation cost estimates for parametric analysis, concepts for
mitigation & ranges of acres impacted, and worst case
scenario costs and assumptions.
Public/Agency review process will provide
input on the most significant resources to focus and form impact
analysis approach, which is limited by
funding/timing.
