Employment effects will be <br /> <br />determined using onfarm cost data and EDA procedures to evalllSte effects of <br /> <br />expenditures. Recreation effects will be developed using data from biologists' <br /> <br />work on wildlife habitat and existing values for recreation. <br /> <br />Level 2. This is a high level of intensity. While it relie8 on existing data <br /> <br />as a base, Inore reliable onsite investigations are used. Run models every 3 <br /> <br />years. Cost is $30,000 per year. Information gathered from onfarm case history <br /> <br />studies will be aggregated basin wide to identify total effeets. The changes in <br /> <br />activity in commodities will identify effects in the basin. Consider a contract <br /> <br />with a university to conduct the input-output study. Downstream salinity <br /> <br />impacts in dollars will be determined using reduced salt load values identified <br /> <br />by other specialists. Effects on employment will be determined using <br /> <br />expenditures compiled by an interdisciplinary team. Recreational effects will be <br /> <br />developed using data compiled by biologists on wildlife habitat, and <br /> <br />recreational values will be defined using the travel cost method for basin <br /> <br />areas. Social impacts will be identified relative to maintaining a viable <br /> <br />agricultural economy and more stable farm operations. <br /> <br />Compile Data <br /> <br />Results of the data at Level 3 will be compiled annually, at Level 2 at three <br /> <br />year intervals, and at Levell, the summary will be released at five year <br /> <br />intervals. At the end of the study, a complete report will be prepared. <br /> <br />45 <br />
