Section 5 Formulation of Alternative Plans

EAA Storage Reservoirs Revised Draft PIR and EIS February 2006

5-56

5.4.5.1 Evaluation Accounts

Effects of the alternatives in the four evaluation accounts listed in the P&G

which include – National Economic Development (NED)/ National Ecosystem

Restoration (NER), Regional Economic Development (RED), Environmental

Quality (EQ), and Other Social Effects (OSE).

5.4.5.2 NED Account

The NED Account is represented by Average Annual Cost, Total Project Cost

and Recreation Benefits. The Average Annual Cost and Total Cost were based on

the actual dollar amounts and were ranked accordingly. The Recreation Benefits

ranks were based on consensus between project team planners and economists,

with rankings derived from estimated recreation benefits.

The “without project” ranked best for the Average Annual Cost because it has no

cost, while the Alternative 6 ranks the worst as it has the highest project cost

among the alternatives. Similarly, the Total Project Cost followed the same

ranking logic as the Average Annual Cost component, with “without project”

condition achieving the highest rank due to no cost and Alternative 6 ranked

lowest, due to higher costs than the other alternatives.

Alternatives 3, 4 and 6 achieved the highest ranking for the Recreation because

they maximized recreation potential compared to the other alternatives, while

the “without plan” condition achieved the lowest score due to the lack of

recreational opportunities. Additional information can be found in Appendix C,

Socio-Economics.

5.4.5.3 NER Account

The National Ecosystem Restoration account is represented by Environmental

Output and Water deliveries to Everglades National Park. The NER account is

ranked by the number of average annual habitat units produced by construction

of an alternative and average annual acre feet of water delivered to ENP as a

result of the alternative plans. The rankings given to items in the NER account

were determined by members of the project’s ecological subteam.

Alternatives 4, 5, and 6, having identical production of average annual habitat

units, all achieved the highest ranking for environmental output, while the

“without project” condition achieved the lowest ranking.

Alternatives 4 and 5 ranked highest in water deliveries to ENP (identical

rankings due to identical delivery capacity), while Alternative 1 (without plan)

ranked lowest. Additional information can be found in Appendix E,

Environmental Appendix.
