Section 785:50-9-62 - Environmental impact statement review by the Board

(a) The format of an EIS will encourage sound analysis and clear presentation of alternatives, including the no action alternative and the selected alternative, and their environmental, economic and social impacts as found in 40 CFR Section 6.207.

(b) Following the comment period and public hearings on the final EIS and at the time of the decision to approve the facilities plan or to provide or deny financial assistance to the proposed project, the Board will prepare a concise public record of decision. The record of decision will describe those mitigative measures to be taken which will make the selected alternative environmentally acceptable.

(c) Recognizing that a project may be altered at some time after an environmental determination on the project has been issued, prior to approval, the plans and specifications, assistance application, and related documents will be examined for consistency with the environmental determination. If inconsistencies are found, the Board may revoke a categorical exclusion and require the preparation of an EID or an EIS, consistent with the criteria of this subsection, or require the preparation of amendments to an EID or supplements to an EIS, as appropriate.
