Does the study take the environmental effects into consideration?
Yes. The environmental analyses for the Capital Beltway will be comprehensive. Extensive inventories of parks, watersheds including wetlands and streams, forests, wildlife, as well as existing and planned neighborhoods, recreation areas, and other social and cultural resources contribute to a better understanding of the potential effects of the various alternates on these resources. Effects will be identified and evaluated with a focus on avoiding and then minimizing adverse effects. Unavoidable adverse effects will be mitigated appropriately.
