CHAPTER 4 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES AT PANTEX PLANT
AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES AT PANTEX PLANT
Chapter 4 provides information on the methods of analysis applied in this EIS and the results of analyses for Pantex Plant. The chapter begins with an introduction and a summary of the impact assessment methodologies that have been applied. The chapter continues with presentations of the affected environment at Pantex Plant and the impacts of the Proposed Action and Alternatives. These presentations are organized by type of resource (e.g., plant facilities and infrastructure, land resources, water resources, etc.) and other issue areas (e.g., intrasite transportation, waste management, intersite transportation, and environmental justice). Also addressed later in this chapter are irreversible and irretrievable commitments of resources, unavoidable adverse environmental impacts, relationships between short-term uses of the environment and long-term productivity, and cumulative impacts.
