2.1. Introduction

An ID Team , representing various interests in the Walking Box Ranch, developed a range of reasonable alternatives for the proposed project. The ID Team identified relevant issues and reviewed concerns presented during the public and agency scoping periods, and then formulated alternatives in response to these issues.

This chapter describes the alternative development process and the various components of each alternative. Descriptions of the resources potentially affected by the project and an analysis of the potential impacts are provided in Chapter 3, Affected Environment and Chapter 4, Environmental Consequences. The proposed project would comply with all laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the 1998 Las Vegas Field Office RMP (see also Section 1.6, “Relationship to Statutes, Regulations, or Other Plans”).
