Original version, as submitted to DENR, and 2. Updated version for submittal to the lenders. You should maintain an original version of the EIS report on file in case there is a need to make additional copies in the future. For preparation of the updated version of the EIS report, please find enclosed the following: • Diskette containing the update to Section 2.4 to incorporate into Volume 1 of the EIS report. • Revised figures for Volume 2 of the EIS report. • Revised Social Development and Resettlement Program for Volume 3 (Additional Information) of the EIS report.) Provide us with one complete loose unbound original set of the updated EIS report so that we can make copies of the document. The updated EIS report will be organized into three separate volumes and bound into a 3-ring binders, as follows: • Volume 1 - Main Report • Volume 2 – Figures, Photographs & Appendices • Volume 3 – Additional Information (Includes Social Development Program) Also, provide us with a set of covers for the three volumes and tabbed dividers. Please note that Table 2.6 has been deleted and as such the table numbering in Section 2 should be revised.
