<br />1--. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Also, as the geographic extent oC a Problem b defened, the partie:- <br />pant should keep in mind that later in the Specific Problem Analysts, <br />Effect information must be developed. Therefore, if at all poss'cl~, <br />the geographic extent of Problems should be made to correspond '..;ith <br />units of geography on which previous economic or e"vi.ronmental <br />inforrr.a tion have been developed (e. g., SMSAr 5, counties, previ.:;u.s <br />study units, etc.). <br /> <br />4 Fourth, in identifying severe Problems, the Council requests that <br />they be associated with one of the following two time periods (1975- <br />1985 or 1985-2000). The time period selected by a participant for <br />any given problem should correspond to that point in time when the <br />~oblem, if not treated, would create severe effects (in the judgment <br />of the participant.) on some segment of the society or the environ- <br />ment. The nature of these severe effects should then be briefly <br />described as discussed in Item #5 below. <br /> <br />5. Fifth, in characterizing the nature of the Problems identified for <br />inclusion in the initial list, the Council requests that the Regional <br />Sponsor utilize the categories of Problem Issues and Functional <br />Uses shown in the checklist on Figure 3,-as a tool to characterize <br />the nature of a Problem. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />This would be done by selecting checklist cells which describe <br />which Functional Uses are significantly effected by what Problem <br />Issues. The Council further requests that the participants <br />indicate the relative importance of the effect of each selected <br />checklist cell on the Problem identified by rating the cell as <br />of high, medi~l!Ll or 10\v impo:-tance. <br /> <br />For example, the participants in n:..3.r!d~g a cell on. the checkli.:;t at <br />the entersection of the Functlonal Use Electric Power and th" <br />Problem issue Water Qaality-thermill wo"ld charactereze a Probl"m <br />associated with po\.vc-r plant sii:ing and associated therm:tl ?olh:ti.~.... <br />Furthermol"C', if thee eell ilt thee intersection of Electric Power and <br />Fresh \Vater Supply \Ver8 also n1ar\::~d.. a:1.other dime':1sion is adc.L.~d. <br />to the ProbL~m {i. e., the Problem oi havin~ in~dc'1~l;J.te fresh W.3.t'2r <br />fur (.1ilution of the therm3.1 dis charges, inadequate \-,:a':.2'r rot' cool- <br />ing to'J/ers or a combination of both).
