      indicators before and after construction or project implementation. Such
      report shall include information  for  each  indicator  from  the  prior
      calendar  year  and  shall  describe  departmental assessments about the
      projects where appropriate.
        d. All reports required to be submitted pursuant to subdivision  c  of
      this  section  shall  be  made  available  on  the department's official
