The public often finds the size and amount of information contained in an Environmental Impact
Statement overwhelming. The contents of the document are, however, required to provide
information of interest to the general public, and also that required by law, desired by federal and
state resource agencies, and of concern to special interest groups.
When reviewing the DEIS, begin with the Summary. It is presented first and contains the
overview of the contents and key issues. The Summary is followed by a detailed table of
contents, which can help direct you to sections of particular interest to you. At the end of the
document, an index can help you locate discussions of specific topics. Chapter 1 presents the
purpose and need for the project.
Chapter 2 provides a broad discussion of the corridors including a detailed history on the
development of the alternatives. Within this chapter, each of the detailed study alternatives is
described as well as their ability to serve the project's purpose. Chapter 3 discusses the existing
conditions in the project area. Topics include neighborhood and community issues, historic
resources, ecological resources, air quality and noise. Chapter 4 contains a discussion of the
project environmental impacts including community impacts, visual and aesthetics quality, historic
resources, noise, ecological impacts, and construction impacts. Finally, Chapter 5 presents the
Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation and the three section 4(f) resources within the vicinity of the project.
