Based on the combined results of several internal workshops, and the stakeholder 

 workshops, the SOR team has concluded that beyond certain generalizatioi\s it is 

 extremely difficult to evaluate the alternatives without specifying assumptiorxs, as 

 different assumptions may lead to very different conclusions about the impacts of the 

 options. The evaluation shown in Chapter 5 attempts to identify alternative 

 assumptions, and the conclusions that might be drawn based on those assumptions. 

 These assumptions include assumptions of both the SOR team and participants in the 

 stakeholders' workshop.
