The RGU shall order the preparation of an EAW. if the evidence
presented by the petitioners, proposers, and other persons or
otherwise known to the RGU demonstrates that, because of the
nature or .location of the proposed project, the project may have
the potential for significant environmental effects. The RGU
shall deny the petition if the evidence presented fails to
demonstrate the project may have the potential for significant
environmental effects. The RGU shall maintain, either as a
separate document or contained within the records of the RGU, a
record, including specific findings of fact, of its decision on
the need for an EAW.

a. Present additional environmental information.
b. Interpret the existing information any differently than.
• already done.
c. Significantly alter the layout of the project.
2. The project does not have a potential for significant.
