4 Alternatives
Three alternatives were identified for analysis in the EIS. These are defined as follows:
-
To renew the Federal Grant for 30 years, which
is the proposed action and the BLM's preferred alternative. Under
this alternative, current operations would be authorized to continue
for 30 more years.
More information about the Proposed Action is available in the
FEIS Volume 2, Section 2.2, Alternatives: Proposed Action. Renew
Federal Grant for 30 Years.

-
To renew the Federal Grant for less than 30 years.
Under this alternative, current operations would be authorized to
continue for some period less than 30 years.
More information about this alternative is available in the FEIS
Volume 2, Section 2.3, Alternatives: Renew Federal Grant for
less than 30 Years.

- To not renew the Federal Grant, which is the no-action
alternative. Under this alternative, TAPS operations would cease at
the end of the current Federal Grant (January 22, 2004). The BLM would
require the TAPS Owners to remove the TAPS and restore the ROW to
a condition specified by the BLM.
More information about the no-action alternative is available in
the FEIS Volume 2, Section 2.4, Alternatives: No-Action Alternative:
Do Not Renew Federal Grant.
