Abstract (D3.S2)

The study has mandated a consortium of companies to design and set up an “Environmental Information System” (“EIS”) based on CERN’s existing geographical information system. The system is initially intended to be used to capture and document initial environmental states in the land affected by the preferred layout and placement scenario. The information managed by this system will be the foundation of the report with respect to the environmental initial state. For the mid-term review, the EIS foundation (databases, IT systems, fundamental maps and data sets capturing the evolution of the environmental and territorial constraints) is intended to be in place for use by FCC Feasibility Study contributors, by the territorial stakeholders in France and Switzerland and by contractors working on environmental studies and site investigations, by civil engineering consultants and technical infrastructure consultants.
