While little slackening of demand trends can <br />presently be cited, most observers, including some who were engaged <br />in the Framework studies, believe the geometric progression of uses of <br />electrical energy will be halted. No studies have been made nor plans <br />prepared for making adjustments that will be needed if that occurs. <br />The APOs could be assisted to undertake the tasks of reappraising the <br />future power requirements in urban areas in the light of realistic <br />goals locally set, <br /> <br />Nonstructura1 Flood Control Measures <br /> <br />The Pacific Southwest is subject to all types of flooding. The <br />Analytical Summary observes that "Controlling flood damages in urban <br />areas often is compatible with other modern urban needs, such as the <br />need for more recreation land and open space." In California alone <br />about 525 miles of streams in or adjacent to urban communities are <br />appropriate for parks, playgrounds, nature reserves and golf courses <br />that can endure floods with low degrees of property damage and little <br />or no danger of loss of life, The report anticipates that participation <br />by communities and developers in Title XII National Insurance Development <br />Program of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 should result <br />in increased use of nonstructural flood control measures such as <br />floodway regulation, flood plain zoning, flood proofing, flood plain <br />insurance, temporary evacuation, subdivision regulation restrictive <br />building codes, and health regulations. Another prime opportunity is <br />presented for participation of the APOs in subsequent water and related <br />land use studies and the formulation of practical programs to mesh <br />urban plans and programs with the plans and programs of Federal and <br />State agencies. An appropriate task is outlined for the APOs. <br /> <br />Plans Leave Urban Recreation Needs Unmet <br /> <br />The Type I Framework studies directed most of their attention with <br />respect to filling recreation needs to the use and development of the <br />vast mountain and rural land areas of the Pacific Southwest, but the <br />Analytical Summary report notes that in California, for example, more <br />than 70 percent of the total recreation demand should be met within <br />one hour of travel from home. "It is significant," the report said, <br />"that 85 percent of the total need in California is urban-related-- <br />for both land and water requirements." Forecasts of 2020 requirements <br />indicate the need for an additional 2.1 billion recreation-days of use <br />annually, nearly all of it urban-related and most of it reflecting the <br />future obligations of local communities within the metropolitan areas. <br />Without representation of the APOs or other regional or local planning <br />agencies, the work groups were not able to contend with the major part <br />of the future recreation needs of urban areas. The Analytical Summary <br />concludes that 65 percent of the total needs will remain unmet by the <br /> <br />EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
