*** New Opportunity to Comment - deadline 11/19/12 - see entry above ***
The public comment period on the DEIS was closed on February 9, 2011
and the consultant will now answer those comments in the Final EIS (FEIS),
a process which may take a few months (depends on the extent of the comments).
Click to download the DEIS from City
(Acrobat pdf format, 482pp, takes a few minutes to download)
"Alternative 1" is the project as it is proposed to be built
(the other alternatives are only for comparison purposes)
This study is not a matter of picking between alternatives -
It is mostly: can the proposed project ("Alt" 1) meet codes and mitigate impacts?

As Randy Corman says in his blog:
"Note that with this and other projects,
if the developer meets all the zoning and shorelines criteria
and satisfies the requirements of the EIS,
then the project will generally be approved as a matter of law."
