The preferred option (Figure 1) has been investigated in detail to assess its benefits and any actual and potential environmental effects. This report describes the various construction activities, their programming and risks and estimated costs. It also provides detail of the expected short-term environmental effects of the construction and outlines the Regional Council’s plans to avoid, remedy or mitigate these.
