lternatives to avoid the impact can be identified. When no alternatives that could be imposed as conditions to the construction permit can be identified, a detailed summary of the land-use changes and their impacts should be provided to the reviewer of ESRP 10.1. The review performed under this ESRP should document the following objectives: (1) public disclosure of major direct land-use consequences of the proposed construction project activity, (2) presentation of the basis of staff analysis of the project, and (3) presentation of staff conclusions, recommendations, and conditions regarding land use. Public disclosures may be accomplished by presenting a brief description of construction within the site and vicinity and a discussion of the land-use changes resulting from construction activities. This section should be understandable to a nontechnical reader. Extensive descriptive material may be incorporated by reference and need not be duplicated in the EIS. The staff’s analysis may be presented in a narrative summary by highlighting important aspects of the impacts resulting from potential land-use changes. The discussion should include identification of important effects and mitigating actions. Minor issues should receive minor treatment. Important or disputed issues should be discussed in detail. The safety evaluation reviewers for geology should provide any necessary input to the EIS with regard to the impact of construction on the geologic environment. V. IMPLEMENTATION The method described herein will be used by the staff in evaluating conformance with the Commission’s regulations, except in those cases in which the applicant proposes an acceptable alternative for complying with specified portions of the regulations.
