(2) The department shall prepare, for each licensed activity which has a significant impact on the human environment, a written analysis of the impact of such licensed activity on the environment. The environmental impact analysis shall address each subject listed in Public Law 91-190, Title I, section 102(2)(c), 83 Stat. 853, and supporting regulations. The department shall prohibit any construction with respect to any activity for which an environmental impact analysis is required prior to completion of such analysis.
