(e) (f) (g) design er mitigatien measures which ceuld be incerpera- ted inte'the preJect te further mlniml'~a~significant envirenmental impact (that havenet~been discussed under item (c) ~beve), and the reasen these have net been included. This examinatien sheuld alse include recem- mendatiens that censider "eff-site" alternative features er designs as they ceuld affect the envirenmental impact ef the prepesed preJect. Include in this dlscusslen alternatives capable ef substantially reducinger elim- inating any adverse impacts, even if these alternatives substantially reduce the preJect ebJectives and are mere cestly. The Relatienship Between Lecal Shert-Term Uses ef Man's EnVlrenment and the Maintenance and' Enhancement cumulative and leng-term effects ef the prepesed preJect which adversely affect the state ef the envirenment. In particular, the desirability ef the preJect shall be weighed te ~uard a~ainst shert- sighted fereclesure ef future eptiens er needs. Special attentien shall be ~iven te impacts which narrew the range ef beneficial uses ef the envirenment er pese leng-term risks te health er safety. In additien, the reasens why the prepesed preJect is believed by the Spenser te be Justified new, rather than reserving an eptten fer further alternatives, sheuld be explained. Any Irreversible Envirenmental Chanes Which Weuld Be Invelved in the Pre~esed AOtien~euld it b~ Implemented: Rescribe the extent te which the prepesed preJect cur- 'tails er expands the diversity and range ef ~eneficial uses ef the envirenment. Uses ef hen-renewable reseurces during the initial. and centinued phases ef the preJect may be irreversible since a large cemmitment ef Such res®urces makes remeval er hen-use thereafter unlikely. .Primary impacts and, particularly, secen~ary impacts ~ (such as a highway, imprevement which preyides access tea nen-accessible area) ~enerally cemmit future gener- atiens te similar uses. Alse irreversible damage can result frem enVirenmental accidents asseciate~ with the preJect, Irretrievable cemmitments ef reseurces sheuld be evaluated te assure that such current cen- sumptien is Justified. Discuss the ways in which the p J ld fester'ecenemic er pepulatien grewth, either directly er indirectly,' in the surreunding envirenment. In, cluded in this are preJects which weuld remeve ebstacles te pepulatien grewth (a maJer expansien ef a waste water treatment plant might, fer example, allew fer mere censtructien in service areas). in- -22-
