PHASE II - TASK 4:
ASSOCIATED VITH
ALTERNATIVES

SOCIAL ISSUES
SINGLE-ELEHENT

TASK DESCRIPTION:

The effects of Plan Element implementation with
regard to social issues will be assessed for each
Plan Elemen t .

TASK OBJECTIVE:

To ensure that social impacts (both positive and
negative) are included in the evaluations of Plan
Elements and to provide the client and public
concerns with a more complete understanding of the
ramifications of Plan Element implementation.

IlETHODOLOGY:

Identification of social impacts related to each Plan
Element (or level of implementation) will be made by
CDM; this task will address the following issues:

1. Changes in land use - The implementation of a
Plan Element may result in changes to existing
land use. For example, the purchase of
direct-flow rights presently used for irrigation
will result in an estimated number of acres of
agricultural land being taken out of production.
Inundation of agricultural and other lands by an
enlarged storage reservoir would result in
similar impacts. Anticipated changes will be
evaluated with respect to present land use
planning policy to identify potential conflicts.
Consequent changes in land value associated with
each Plan Element will also be estimated.

2. Changes in ingress and egress The
implementation of a Plan Element may result in
changes to access to public and private lands.
This issue aPplies primarily to the Plan Elements
involving the construction of new storage
facilities or increasing the capacity of existing
facilities. Such construction or expansion could
require the closure or rerouting of access roads
to public and private properties.
