Lessons Learned

 

Alternative project considerations can offer a backdrop of information regarding different forms of meeting the project under questions specifications, however most of these are not taken seriously in light of the main goal of promoting the project under question.

 

Following the guidelines religiously with no deviation or outside thought should not be encouraged. This can leave room for information that has not been taken into consideration by the joint review panel to be ignored.

The Alternative Means of carrying out the project are the most important subjects to understand well – when reviewing an EIS – as they normally act as the backbone to which each assessment is based upon.
