Environmental Impact Statement
According to DALC, an “EIS must rigorously explore and objectively evaluate all reasonable alternatives, including no-build and robust non-transmission alternatives.” What this means is that an EIS should examine the positive and negative impacts of all reasonable alternatives on the environment, property values, business income, tourism, cultural assets, and personal and animal health. http://driftlessconservancy.org/2017/01/12/dalc-submits-comments-rural-utilities-service/
