  Purpose and Need and Alternatives Development

 

   



This Topic Area is dedicated to the subject of project purpose and need and alternatives development and analysis.

The subject could be a part of the NEPA Process and Documentation Topic Area but because it is so important to a successful NEPA process we felt it deserved its own space.
