Exhibit 15 shall contain:
A statement and evaluation that identifies, describes, and
					 discusses all potential significant adverse impacts of the construction and
					 operation of the facility, the interconnections, and related facilities on the
					 environment, public health, and safety, at a level of detail that reflects the
					 severity of the impacts and the reasonable likelihood of their occurrence,
					 identifies the current applicable statutory and regulatory framework, and also
					 addresses:
(a) the anticipated
				  gaseous, liquid and solid wastes to be produced at the facility during
				  construction and under representative operating conditions of the facility,
				  including their source, anticipated volumes, composition and temperature, and
				  such meteorological, hydrological and other information needed to support such
				  estimates and any studies, identifying the author and date thereof, used in the
				  analysis;
(b) the anticipated
				  volumes of such wastes to be released to the environment during construction
				  and under any operating condition of the facility;
(c) the treatment processes to eliminate or
				  minimize wastes to be released to the environment;
(d) the manner of collection, handling,
				  storage, transport and disposal for wastes retained and not released at the
				  site, or to be disposed of;
(e) for
				  wind power facilities, impacts due to blade throw, tower collapse, audible
				  frequency noise, low-frequency noise, ice throw and shadow flicker;
(f) maps of the study area and analysis
				  showing relation of the proposed facility site to public water supply
				  resources; community emergency response resources and facilities including

				  communications facilities; hospitals and emergency medical facilities;
				  designated evacuation routes; existing known hazard risks including flood

				  including all reasonably related short-term and long-term effects;
(h) any adverse impact on the environment,
				  public health, and safety that cannot be avoided should the proposed facility
				  be constructed and operated, and measures for monitoring and measuring such
				  impacts;
(i) any irreversible and
				  irretrievable commitment of resources that would be involved in the
				  construction and operation of the facility;
(j) any measures proposed by the applicant to
				  minimize such impacts;
(k) any
				  measures proposed by the applicant to mitigate or offset such impacts;
				  and
(l) any monitoring of such
				  impacts proposed by the applicant.
