<br />~... <br />-.J <br />C.11 <br />N <br /> <br />the report, (2) the medi um "without" (MWO) represents the <br />States' estimates of present conditions and the most <br />probab 1 e 1 eve 1 of development by vari ous users in future <br />years (MWO represents present conditions and M2WO the year <br />2,000 level as designated by the CIFSG). Using the medium <br />as a reference base, the States compiled the high <br />"without" scenario by assuming a more rapid expansion of <br />projects and facil ities or greater consumption of water <br />than the medi um "wi thout", converse ly, the low "wi thout" <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />represents less rapid construction of some projects and <br />facil ities or lower consumptive use requirements. Only <br />the medium conditions were used in the CIFSG methodology <br />implementation. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Steering Committee also used three levels of EET <br /> <br />development. <br /> <br />Two of these were established by DOE, <br /> <br />namely, the Section l3(a) Baseline and the Accelerated <br /> <br /> <br />Synfuel development. The CIFSG designated these as M2WB <br /> <br /> <br />(which represents the medium "without" year 2,000 level of <br /> <br /> <br />development plus the Section 13(a) Baseline) and M2WA <br /> <br /> <br />(representing the medium "without" year 2000 conditions <br /> <br />plus the accelerated synfuel program. Only these two were <br />used by the CIFSG in appraising impacts. <br /> <br />The Section 13(a) Baseline is an extension of ERDA's <br /> <br />(Energy Research and Development Agency's) "Forecast 2", <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />40 <br />
