REVIEW PROCEDURES This benefit-cost balancing should be conducted under the direction of those most knowledgeable of the entire project, the EPM, and the review team leader in concert with each individual reviewer. The reviewer may evaluate the benefit-cost balancing prepared by the applicant or may conduct such balancing independently. The reviewer should do the following steps: (1) Tabulate the benefits to be derived from the proposed project. This was done as a part of the review of ESRP 10.4.1. (2) Analyze the benefits in terms of megawatt-hours of electrical energy generated, megawatts of capacity, and less tangible benefits such as recreational or educational facilities resulting from the proposed project. Consider the benefits of the project as modified by suggested alternatives that have not been adopted by the applicant. (3) Tabulate the environmental costs of the project as proposed by the applicant, including all commit- ments made in the most recent amendments to the applicant’s ER.
