Road Alternatives Assessment<br />

Comparison of effects<br />

A comparison of both road options indicates that the potential effects of each option are fairly<br />

similar in terms of the magnitude, duration and reversibility. Option A covers a larger geographic<br />

extent, but the difference in overall total habitat affected is negligible. The difference between<br />

the two options is in the values that could potentially be affected, with Option B located within a<br />

potential wildlife corridor. Also, Option A allows for a better ability to gate the road and restrict<br />

access due to the extent of leased claims associated with this option, thereby reducing the<br />

potential for mortality as a result of hunting.
