The EA contains the staff’s analysis of

the potential environmental impacts of

the project and concludes that licensing

environmental protective measures,

quality of the human environment.

A copy of the EA is available for

review at the Commission in the Public

Reference Room or may be viewed on

the Commission’s Web site at http://
