Eric,
Of course, the answer is yes.  The consideration of potential impacts to "Cultural Resources" is taken into account within the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA); therefore, to say TW is "commited" to environmental stewardship would include that resource (although it is not generally understood that NEPA would include it).  On the other hand, you make a great point.  If you want to expand the TW's sensitive consideration with another sentence to include other interests at this point (e.g., interested parties, landowners, regualtory bodies, etc.) that would be more reflective of the open concept we want to portray with the Sun Devil Project.  As a suggestion you could probably say something to the effect that: "TW will consider suggestions and comments made by interested parties (e.g., environmental groups, landowners, agencies and others) in the development of a potential route for the pipeline. This includes TW's commitment to develop the route in an environmentally sensitive manner."   John

I'm with John in spirit.  My concern is that you might be "excluding" other stakeholders by highlighting environmental stewardship (and not preservation of cultural heritage, etc.)  Can you generalize to "TW will initiate studies to carefully consider routes/corridors in consultation with relevant parties, eg landowners, regulatory bodies, etc." ?

Gina, 
Being that about half of this project includes "greenfield" area that cross several sensitive watersheds, I have taken the liberty to offer a sentence that reflects the environmental stewardship commitment that TW is including in its planning of the route for this line.  John Shafer
