EIR Team
PRELIMINARY
Observations and Conclusions
[cont.]
‣ The EIS is largely consistent with the HAB Advisory 197 –
Groundwater Values Flowchart. Five of the six steps in that chart
were considered in the groundwater evaluations conducted in the EIS,
the exception being the decision (item 6 in the chart) as to whether to
launch further technology development. The EIS focuses on the
Alternatives that are currently under consideration, which are based on
current technologies.
‣ Where there were questions about how well certain features were
characterized, the EIS takes into account the associated uncertainties
(see above). {Section 2.4 and 2.5.2}
