Executive Summary <br />The estimated changes in income and sales results from restoration and management of habitat <br />lands under each scenario are summarized in Table ES-4. The present value of the change in <br />total income from the restoration.of habitat is estimated to be $4.7 million under Scenario 1, $4.0 <br />million under Scenario 2 and $6.1 million under Scenario 3. The present value of the change in <br />sales is estimated to be $7.1 million under Scenario 1, $6.1 million under Scenario 2 and 59.2 <br />million under Scenario 3. Employment is also estimated to increase with the restoration and <br />management of habitat lands. Table ES -5 summarizes the change in employment. <br />Table ES-4 <br />Economic Impacts as the Program Affects Habitat Restoration and Management <br />(Relative to Baseline Condition) <br />Present Value of the Change in Total <br />Income Relative to the Baseline <br />Condition <br />Present Value of the Change in Total <br />Sales Relative to the Baseline <br />Condition <br />Present Value - 2001 to 2020 at 2.8% Discount Rate <br />Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3 <br />$4.7 million $4.0 million $6.1 million <br />$7.1 million $6.1 million $9.2 million <br />Note. Total income and total sales represent direct, indirect, and induced effects. <br />Employment impacts under Scenario 1 vary each year as indicated in Table ES -5. Employment <br />is estimated to increase by as much as 76 jobs in 2006 when a significant amount of restoration <br />will be under way. Once restoration is complete and the Program is actively managing habitat <br />lands, employment is estimated to be 5 jobs higher each year from 2009 through 2020 than under <br />baseline conditions. Employment is also expected to increase under Scenario 2 as summarized <br />in Table ES -5. Relative to employment under the baseline condition, the number of jobs is <br />expected to increase by 8 jobs in 2001, by 76 jobs in 2006 and 4 jobs each year from 2009 <br />through 2020. <br />Employment is also estimated to increase with the restoration and management of habitat lands <br />under Scenario 3. Table ES -5 summarizes the change in employment. Employment is estimated <br />to increase by as much as 180 jobs in 2004 when a significant amount of restoration will be <br />under way. Once restoration is -complete and the Program is actively managing habitat lands, <br />employment is estimated to be 6 jobs higher each year from 2009 through 2020 than under <br />baseline conditions. <br />Hwd.40210R009.doc ES -9 Third Parry Impact Study <br />Final Report <br />
