Describe <br /> the cumulative and long-term effects of the <br /> proposed project which adversely affect the state <br /> of the environment. Special attention should be <br /> given to impacts which narrow the range of bene- <br /> ficial uses of the environment or pose long-term <br /> risks to health or safety. In addition, the <br /> reasons why the proposed project is believed by <br /> the sponsor to be justified.now, rather than <br /> reserving an option for further alternatives, <br /> should be explained. <br /> <br /> Any Irreversible Environmental Changes Which Would <br /> Be Involved in the Proposed Action Should It Be <br /> <br />Implemented. Uses of non-renewable resources <br />'during the initial and continued phases of the <br /> <br /> project may be irreversible since a large commit- <br /> ment of such resources makes removal or non-use <br /> thereafter unlikely. P~imary impacts and, parti- <br /> cularly, secondary impacts (such as a highway <br /> improvement which provides access to a non-accessible <br /> area) generally commit future generations to <br /> similar uses. Also irreversible damage can result <br /> <br />-40- <br /> <br /> <br />
