The <br />matrix is a method of rating each route against each of the 10 weighted non -cost identifiable route <br />selection criteria previously discussed. The weight for cost used is 40 in addition to the six non -cost <br />factors with a total of 100. The alternative routes in each section have been evaluated on the basis of non- <br />cost identifiable criteria using the "Route Evaluation Matrix." Each alternative route was compared and <br />rated against the cost and non -cost identifiable criteria on a scale of 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent). A weight <br />factor was applied to each criteria rating for each route. <br />The overall weighted scores for each route are summarized in Table 44. <br />Table 4- 4 Route Evaluation Weighted Overall Scores <br />Route <br />Weight <br />1 <br />2 <br />3* <br />4 <br />5 <br />Cost <br />40 <br />13 <br />18 <br />40 <br />18 <br />19 <br />Pipeline Length <br />10 <br />2 <br />2 <br />10 <br />3 <br />3 <br />Public Inconvenience <br />10 <br />5 <br />5 <br />10 <br />5 <br />5 <br />Special Crossings <br />10 <br />3 <br />5 <br />5 <br />5 <br />10 <br />ROW/EasementAvailability <br />10 <br />3 <br />5 <br />5 <br />t0 <br />10 <br />Operation and Maintenance <br />10 <br />10 <br />10 <br />0 <br />10 <br />10 <br />Weighted Overall Scores <br />100 <br />36 <br />45 <br />70 <br />50 <br />56 <br />* Most Preferred Route <br />Italicized values in Table 411 indicate the most preferred route in that particular section based on the <br />selected non -cost identifiers in Table 4 -3.
