Describe significant, avoidable, adverse impact including inefficient and
unnecessary co ption of energy, and measures~ minimize these impacts.
The discussion~mitigation mzasures shall distinguish between the
measures which are proposed by project proponents co be included in the
project and other measures cha[ are no[ included bu~ could reasonablv be
expected to reduce adverse impacts. This discussion shall iden[ifv the
mitiqa[ion measures which will eliminate such im~oacts or reduce them to a
level of insignificance. Where several measures are avilabie to mitigate
an impact, each should be discussed and the basis for selecting a particular
measure should be identified. Energy conservation measures, as well as other
appropriate mitigation measures, shall be discussed when relevant.
(4) Alternatives to the Proaosed Accion:
Describe all reasonable alternacives to the projec[, or to the location of
the projec[, which could feasibly attain the bas±c objectives of the project,
and why they were rejected in favor of the ultimate choice. The specific
alternative of "no project" must also always be evaluated, along with [he
' impac[. The discussion of alternatives shall focus on alternatives capable of
I eliminatinQ anv siqnificant adverse environmental effects or ceducinQ them to
a level of insiqnificance, even ii chese alternatives substantially impede the
I attainment of the project objectives, and are more costly. If the environmentall:
~I~ superior alternative is the "no proiect" alternative then the EIR shall also
'i identify an environmentally superior alternative amonQ the ocher alternatives.

i (5) The Relationship Between Local Short-Ter.n Uses of ~tan's EnVironmen[ and the
j Maintenance and Enhancement of LonR-Term Productivitv:
i
Describe the cumulacive dnd long-ter.n effects of the proposed project which
adversely affect the s[ace of [he environment Special attention should be
given to impacts which narrow the range of beneEicial uses oi [he environment
~ or pose long-term risks to health or saiety. In addition, the reasons why
I the proposed projec[ is believed by the sponsor to be justiiied now, rather
i than reserving an option for iurther alternatives, should be explained.
(6) Significant Irreversible Environmental Chanues Sdhich Idould Be Involved
In the Proposed action Should I[ Be Implemented:
~ Uses of nonrenewable resources during the initial and concinued phases ui the
; project may be irreversible since a large commicment of such resources makes
, removal or nonuse thereafter unlikely. Primary impacts and, particularly,
secondary impacts (such as a highway improvement which provides access to a
nonaccessible area) generally commit future genera[ions to similar uses. ~lso
irreversible damage can result from environmental accidents associated with the
projec[. Irre[rievable commitments of resources should be evaluated to
assure that such current consumption is justified.
