Draft Environmental Impact Report - California Off Highway Vehicle ...

S.0 Summary
The alternatives analysis evaluates each issue area compared with the proposed project. The
headquarters facilities analyzed in this DEIR were included as part of all of the alternatives except
the No‐Project alternative.
The following three project alternatives are considered in the alternatives analysis:
the No‐Project Alternative,
the Conservation Alternative, and
the Reduced Developed Use Area Alternative.
Under the No‐Project Alternative, Clay Pit SVRA would remain in its current condition with no
improvements or modifications. The Conservation Alternative would preserve some sensitive
areas of the SVRA but would allow development throughout the rest of the SVRA. The Reduced
Developed Use Area Alternative would allow the development of fewer OHV facilities, and
therefore would attract a smaller increase in the number of visitors to the SVRA. Thus, this
alternative would cause the least environmental impact and would be considered the
Environmentally Superior Alternative although it does not meet all of the project objectives.
