C - Too Wordy

n  Land use: g  Mainly agricultural. g  Some wooded areas.

n  Effect on floodplain: g  Minimal if there is proper drainage.

n  Effect on agricultural land: g  Farm land is very important, but the loss of this farm land is

unavoidable. g  This problem can be resolved by adequately compensating

the farmers for lost land. n  One possible alternative:

g  Pass the expressway through town. g  Impact on community and surrounding environment

exponential.
