Evaluation of each identified impact should result in one of the following determinations: ` The impact is minor, and mitigation is not required. When all impacts are of this nature, the reviewer should include a statement in the EIS of the following type: The staff reviewed the available information on the physical impacts of construction. Based on this review, the staff concludes that there are no significant physical socioeconomic environmental impacts as a result of construction. ` The impact is adverse, but can be mitigated by specific design or procedure modifications that the reviewer has identified and determined to be practical. For these cases, the reviewer should consult with the EPM and the reviewers for ESRPs 9.3 and 9.4 for verification that the mitigation measures are practical and will lead to an improvement in the benefit-cost balance. The reviewer should prepare lists of verified modifications for the reviewer for ESRP 4.6. A statement similar to the following should be included in the EIS: The staff reviewed the information on physical impacts of construction. Based on this review, the staff concludes that the following impacts require mitigation. ` The impact is adverse and cannot be successfully mitigated, and is of such magnitude that it should be avoided. When impacts of this nature are identified, the reviewer should inform the reviewers for ESRPs 9.3 and 9.4 that an analysis and evaluation of alternative designs or procedures is needed. The reviewer should participate in any such analysis and evaluation of alternatives that would avoid the impact and that could be considered practical. If no such alternatives can be identified, the reviewer is responsible for providing this information to the reviewer for ESRP 10.1. A statement similar
