Limited Environmental Effects in Mississippi

The draft EIS also says that with the applicants' and FERC staff's avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures, those effects would be less than significant.
Nearby Residents Can Review Plans
If you are a landowner with a residence within 25 feet of planned construction, FERC encourages you to review the applicants' site-specific residential construction plans and submit comments.
