Impacts on Property <br /> <br />One issue that was rated as highly important was the property damage as a consequence of <br />more erosion and flooding resulting from moving more water. There were two other ranked <br />issues that fit into this category and all three essentially speak to the same problem. Erosion <br />and flooding on Fountain Creek is already recognized as a major problem for property <br />owners but meeting participants were concerned about other streams as well. <br /> <br /> <br />ert : Issues <br /> <br />Score <br />4 <br />2 <br />1 <br />2.3 <br /> <br />reater releases <br /> <br />.

Many socioeconomic issues and concerns associated with each alternative have been <br />identified. The issues have been organized around four types of impacts: recreation, <br />agriculture, visual, and construction. <br />. A set of socioeconomic impacts pertaining to the overall project was collected, ranked in <br />degree of importance, and grouped into five categories of impacts. <br />. These preliminary results provide the basis for more specific and detailed analysis following <br />the development of the Preferred Storage Option Plan. <br />. Socioeconomic impact analysis must be submitted to public scoping as part of the NEPA <br />process. <br />. Although several socioeconomic impacts of potential importance have been discovered, at <br />this stage no fatal flaw has been identified. <br /> <br />Page 9 ot 10 <br />
