ronmental impacts on each minority and low-income population. Significance is determined by considering the disproportionate exposure, multiple-hazard, and cumulative hazard conditions outlined in the Environmental Justice: Guidance Under the National Environmental Policy Act (CEQ 1997). (e) Discuss any mitigative measures for which credit is being taken to reduce environmental justice concerns. (f) When alternative sites are being evaluated, the same reviews should be available for each site. IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The depth and extent of the input to the EIS will be governed by the extent and significance of the identified minority and low-income populations and by the nature and magnitude of the expected impacts of construction. Data provided by the applicant are useful if ` data in the ER describe the degree to which each minority or low-income population is disproportionately prone to adverse human health or environmental impacts during construction as compared with the entire geographic area ` the data are consistent with data obtained from other sources, when available. In addition, a similar assessment is made in the ER for each of the alternative sites in comparison with the larger geographic region that encompasses all of the sites. ` when applicable, data in the ER describe the significance or potential significance of such environmental impacts on each minority and low-income population ` when applicable, data in the ER describe the degree to which each minority or low-income population is disproportionately prone to any benefits during construction in comparison to the entire geographic area ` when applicable, data in the ER describe any mitigative measures for which consideration is made to reduce environmental justice concerns ` the data in the ER consider the unique lifestyle and practices of minority and low-income communities (for example, subsistence activities or dependence on specific water supplies) that could result in disproportionate
