acts associated with preconstruction activities, so they can be evaluated as part of the cumulative impacts related to the construction activities. Specific information to include in the environmental report (ER), as part of or in addition to the description of impacts, is covered in the following sections. 4.1 Land-Use The applicant should describe the land- or ground-disturbing alterations of building activities and the resulting impacts on land and resource uses. All impacts should be quantified to the extent possible using acreage, volumetric, or chronological measures. 4.1.1 Onsite Impacts The following information relating to the land-use impacts from building activities should be included in the ER: • Land disturbance related to building activities on a short-term or long-term basis tabulated and summarized in terms of acreage of land area by activity (e.g., grading, excavation, trenching, dredging, borrow pits, and clearing vegetation). • Disposition of spoils from excavation work or dredging including volumes of excavated or dredged material and ultimate disposition location by volume to onsite or offsite locations. Include the acreage required for spoils disposal. • A summary of the proposed footprint of land disturbance (by acre) for permanent and temporary uses (e.g., power block, auxiliary buildings, cooling infrastructure, laydown areas, batch plants, parking, and administration). • Impacts to any affected local or regional land-use or economic-development plans. • Discussion of possible zoning conflicts. • Disruption to ongoing natural resource management activities, including agricultural, forestry, and mineral extraction activities. • Disruption to land- or water-resource access. • Disruption to existing land uses or private land access at the site or vicinity caused by building activities. • Characterization of raw material resource-extraction volumes associated with building activities (e.g., reservoir timber clearing and sand
