Impacts Analyzed
Direct operational impacts. Smokestack emissions from the facility; fugitive emissions such as methane escaping from oil and ga
emissions of methane and nitrous oxide from agricultural operations; methane from landfills and wastewater treatment plants; and i
on carbon "sinks," such as forests, agricultural soils, and wetlands.
Purchased electricity. The GHGs emitted in generating the electricity that is produced off-site and purchased by the facility.
Induced trips. Employee, customer, and vendor travel; the transport of raw materials, manufactured goods, and other freight to an
the facility.
Construction impacts. The GHG emissions from extracting and fabricating the construction materials, and from the equipment at
servicing the construction site.
Impact of climate change on project. Among the topics here could be the effects of rising sea levels and water tables, increased
