Alternatives Analysis
The purpose of the Alternatives Analysis Chapter is to describe the range of on- and off-airport alternatives considered to meet the Purpose and Need, as well as the screening process used to identify which of those alternatives are reasonable and feasible and will be considered for further analysis. More detailed analysis of the environmental impacts of the proposed alternatives will be included in subsequent chapters of the DEIS.
