The construction of such a large facility is expected to impact not only the immediate site, but also the larger environment. There are wetlands that will be impacted, other water resources, site topography, wildlife, flora and fauna. In addition, the embodied carbon in many of the construction materials such as concrete, steel, and aluminum will be substantial.
