• The creation of an Environmental Impact Statement
  can take two to three years to complete,
  depending on the complexity of the proposed
  project. There are numerous individuals and
  technical experts involved. For the Final Paper,
  you will develop an abbreviated form of a Draft
  Environmental Impact Statement by selecting one
  of the scenarios below.

2

• Scenario 1
• You are attempting to build a wastewater
  treatment plant in a newly developed urban area.
  The site is located in an attainment area. There
  is a local waterway that runs through the site.
  The area is heavily populated.
• Scenario 2
• You are proposing to build a power plant in an
  industrialized area. The site is located in an
  attainment area but local regulations require
  offsets be incorporated into the plan. The
  closest waterway is 1.5 miles away. The gradient
  of the land slopes towards the water. There is a
  small population of people that surrounds the
  industrial area.
• Scenario 3
• You are proposing to build a recycling center in
  a rural area. The area consists of numerous
  waterways. There are many farms in the area. The
  population is medium in size and spread
  throughout the area. The area is in a
  nonattainment area.
• Scenario 4
• You are proposing to build a shopping mall in a
  heavily populated rural area. The area adjacent
  to the site consists of a nature preserve.

3

• The main road into and out of the site is a
  single lane road in each direction. The area of
  the site is in an attainment area.
• Develop a scoping plan for the scenario of your
  choice. Include a minimum of three (3)
  alternatives as well as the no build alternative.
• Discuss a minimum of three (3) important criteria
  from each chapter regarding your proposed site
  (i.e. discuss land-use and development, social
  and neighborhood effects, economic factors,
  relocations, traffic and transportation, energy,
  historic and archaeological resources, visual
  resources, air quality, noise, geology and soils,
  water resources, floodplains and coastal areas,
  wetlands, and vegetation and wildlife). It is
  understandable that every category may not be
  affected by your proposed project. However, you
  must indicate the category and include a brief
  statement as to why certain criteria do not
  apply. Since the scenarios provided may not
  address every situation that could arise, you may
  extrapolate and be creative regarding the
  surrounding area. Make sure that you support any
  decision that you make by explaining its
  importance in regards to the site and the
  community. Provide evidence throughout your paper
  to support your statements
