Sec. Environmental Impact. All phases ef a project must be censi~ere~ when evaluating its impact en the environment: planning, acquisition, ~evelepment an~ operation. The following subjects shall be ~iscusse~, preferably in separate sections er paragraphs: (a) The Environmental Impact ef the Prepese~ Action: Describe the ~i~ec't an~ indirect impacts ef the pro- Ject en the environment, giving ~ue consideration te beth the short-term and long-term effects.

Where a particualr mitigation measure has been chosen from among several alternatives sheul~ be discussed and reasons sheul~ be given for the choice ma~e, (a) Alternatives te the Prepesed Action: Consider two kinds ef alternatives: First, the alter- native kinas ef projects er locations ef the same project, which could feasibly attain the basic ob- Jectives ef the ~reJect, and why they were rejected in favor ef the ultimate choice. The specific alternative ef ne project must always be evaluate~, along with the impact. Second, ~escribe the alternative
