The system consists of <br />three components: (1) Environmental Impact Computer System <br />that enables a user to determine how an Army action affects <br />various aspects of the environment and how to address these <br />effects. Input includes the type of activity planned and <br />natural, economic, and social features of the environment. <br />Output is in matrix form with descriptions of possible <br />ramifications and mitigations. (2) Economic Impact Fore- <br />cast System including statistics for every county in the <br />United States on population, statistics, employment, income, <br />and government. System predicts impact of planned activi- <br />ties. (3) Computer-Aided Environmental Legislative Data <br />System, an up-to-date summary of all Federal and state laws, <br />regulations, and standards related to the environment, in- <br />cluding geographic area, administrative agency, legal <br />reference, abstract, and topics. <br /> <br />Computerized system is designed for batch or interactive <br />processing. The cost depends on requests. Special arrange- <br />under study for use by private and nonmilitary users. <br /> <br />The EnviY'onmentaZ TechnicaZ InfoY'mation System: OVeY'view <br />and UseY' OY'ientation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, <br />Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, Champaign, <br />IL, July 1978. <br /> <br />Ron Webster <br />Construction Engineering Research Laboratory <br />Department of the Army <br />POBox 4005 <br />Champaign, IL 61820 <br /> <br />Tele: (217) 352-6511 x261 FTS 958-7261 <br /> <br />57 <br />
