The appropriate ESRP Chapter 4.0 and 5.0 reviewers should be consulted in making these estimates and in comparing these impacts with those predicted for the proposed corridor routes. ` Economic Factors—The reviewer should estimate acquisition or right-of-way costs, clearing and construction costs, maintenance costs, and the costs to mitigate predicted environmental impacts for the proposed and alternative routes. Where there are appreciable differences in transmission line lengths, the reviewer should estimate the loss in delivered electrical capacity due to transmission line losses. (2) Alternatives to the Proposed Transmission System Design, Construction, and Maintenance (a) The reviewer’s analysis of alternatives to the proposed system design, construction, and main- tenance should be based on summaries made by the appropriate ESRP Chapter 4.0 and 5.0 reviewers for alternative actions to mitigate predicted impacts. As a general rule, these
