- The ratings should be based upon the total number of sites proposed (number of sites = n). The most preferred site for each factor should receive a rating of n. The site preferred next should be rated n-1, and so forth.
- Reconnaissance level data may be employed in constructing the environmental matrix, including existing studies and reports completed by public or private agencies. If such sources are not available or adequate, site analyses must be conducted.
- The environmental matrix shall be accompanied by a narrative which references the sources of the data used for each factor and an explanation of how these data were used to arrive at the relative rating for each proposed site.
Notes
State regulations are updated quarterly; we currently have two versions available. Below is a comparison between our most recent version and the prior quarterly release. More comparison features will be added as we have more versions to compare.
