(c) Further evidence that the Environmental Impact Statement 
upon which defendants rely is not addressed to the subject matter of 
this action is found in the fact that no consideration is given in the 
EIS to the effect of the Ft. Detrick experiments on the air, water, 
population, sewerage capacity or other peculiar environmental

The Guidelines for preparation of environmental impact statements, 
promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality (36 Fed. Reg. 7724- 
29, April 23, 1971 and 38 Fed. Reg. 10856, May 2, 1973) provide that the 
particular action proposed must be addressed in terms of impact on the en- 
vironment. The regulations, require an EIS to contain, in part: 
"(i) A description of the proposed action including 
information and technical data adequate to permit a 
careful assessment of environmental impact by commenting 
agencies. Where relevant, maps should be provided. 
(ii) The probable impact of the proposed action on 
the environment, including impact on ecological systems 
such as wildlife, fish, and marine life. Both primary and 
secondary significant consequences for the environment 
should be included in the analysis. For example, the 
implications., if any, of the action for population distribution 
or concentration should be estimated and an assessment made 
of the effect of any possible change in population patterns 
upon the resource base, including land use, water, and 
public services, of the area in question. 
(iii) Any probable adverse environmental effects which 
cannot be avoided (such as water or air pollution, undesirable 
land use patterns, damage to life systems, urban congestion, 
threats to health or other consequences adverse to the environmental 
goals set out in Section 101(b) of the Act). "
