"We regret that we are unable to concur with your recommended short list of alternatives for Phase 2 screening at this time"

“a higher degree of scrutiny (of the Phase I report) is warranted in light of the early and well organized local opposition to the project”, and as such, “requires additional information before concluding the Phase I review”
