Two Options For Viewing or Downloading the Final Environmental Impact Statement

In an attempt to provide more public access to the document, we are offering individuals who have Internet access the option of viewing or downloading either the text of or the entire Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). Since the entire file which includes all text, appendices, and figures is large (6.4 megabytes), you may want, depending on the speed of your Internet connection, to view or download just the text version of the FEIS or download the entire file. If you select the text version, you will be able to view the appendices and figures one at a time. Which ever option you choose, you need the Acrobat Reader to read the files. We hope the availability of this document via the Internet will increase the public involvement in reviewing the environmental implications of the proposed project. If you have any questions regarding any aspect of the FEIS, call Mark Plank at (202) 720-1649 or contact him through e-mail at mplank@rus.usda.gov.
