Alternative Considered	Year Evaluated	Determination	Rationale
24 NLP	1991, 1993	Practicable	Meets basic and overall purposes at reasonable cost
24 NLP/Desal	1993	Practicable	Meets basic and overall purposes at reasonable cost
16 NLP/Desal	1991	Practicable/not practicable	Met basic purpose in 1991; changes in instream flow requirements by agencies resulted in need for larger reservoir
9 NLP/Desal	1991	Not practicable	Other significant adverse consequences; does not comply with 40 CFR 230.10(a); may fail to meet basic purpose
23 NSC	1991	Practicable/not practicable	Met basic purpose in 1991; later agency determinations rendered it infeasible
6 CAC/Desal	1991	Not practicable	Outside MPWMD boundary; other significant adverse consequences; does not comply with 40 CFR 230.10(a)
11 SCC	1991	Not practicable	Fails to meet basic project purpose
10 CHU	1991	Not practicable	Fails to meet basic project purpose; outside MPWMD boundary
25 CAN	1993	Not practicable	Extremely high cost; other significant adverse consequences; does not comply with 40 CFR 230.10(a)
15 CAN/Desal	1993	Not practicable	Cost uncertainties attributable to technical concerns; fails to meet overall purpose; logistical factors
7 DSL	1991, 1993	Not practicable	Excessively high cost for incremental water benefit; cost uncertainty resulting from energy costs; partially outside MPWMD boundary; fails to meet overall purpose
No project	1991, 1993	Not practicable	Fails to meet basic and overall purposes
