1)         Refinement and specification of alternatives in detail, with emphasis on use of established technology;

2)         Detailed cost estimation, including distribution of costs over time;

3)         Evaluation in terms of engineering implementation, or constructability;

4)         An assessment of each alternative in terms of the extent to which it is expected to effectively mitigate and minimize damage to, and provide adequate protection of, public health, welfare, and the environment, relative to the other alternatives analyzed; and

5)         An analysis of any adverse environmental impacts, methods for mitigating these impacts, and costs of mitigation.
