Primary Effects, Secondary Effects

Primary Effects 

Include direct impacts on man's health and welfare and on other forms of life and related ecosystems. Example of direct effect might include noise from construction activity.

Secondary Effects

This includes an indirect environmental impact particularly on population concentration and growth, e.g. people are attracted to previously underpopulated area sand ill directly cause pollution, congestion and land development.

Alternatives to Proposed Action

Any alternative technology which is practicable and more environmentally friendly should be included. It is important here to include all viable alternatives, the purpose is to find more environmentally acceptableness to problems here so that they lay be implemented by whatever means may be necessary.

Analysis of Alternatives

Sufficient analysis of such alternatives, their costs and impact of the Environment should accompany the proposed action through the agency review process in order not to prematurely foreclose options that might have less detrimental effects.Compare and evaluate the costs and benefits of these alternatives with those of the proposed project and discuss why they were rejected.
