Page 7-2           OSEC-430 [See page 5-363 for the original comment] REVISE the second paragraph as follows:

 

The principles of sustainable development are predicated on a long-term vision and ethic of environmental stewardship that incorporates environmental, societal, and economic needs. Sustainability is concerned with inter-related systems (human and societal, economic, and ecological) and actions to foster positive outcomes by enhancing connections between those systems. Sustainable development principles focus on an envisioned future more than preservation of an existing present, and can be applied effectively in the Project Sire Site development design phase to maximize positive outcomes.
