DGEIS Chapters and Appendices

Protect the Highlands has uploaded the below chapters and appendices of the DGEIS, broken out by individual section, to make navigating and reading the DGEIS easier. The sections were taken in whole exactly as they appear in the DGEIS, and all sections of the DGEIS are included.

Note: The DGEIS divides the Fjord Trail into two parts: Fjord Trail North (defined as Denning’s Point to Breakneck Ridge) and Fjord Trail South (defined as Breakneck Ridge to Dockside Park). Both parts address the same topics. Chapter III, Sections A–P address impacts to Fjord Trail North and Chapter IV, Sections A–P address impacts to Fjord Trail South. Chapter III.L: Traffic and Transportation encompasses Fjord Trail North and Fjord Trail South. (As such, there is no Chapter IV:L.)
