Therefore, the emphasis is on <br />the incremental impacts, and the absolute water quantity and quality <br />numbers should be considered as approximations only. The EET <br />development was limited by DOE to coal gasification and oil shale <br />only. The analysis of the alternative impacts is at the reconnais- <br />sance level of appraisal. This document, reporting the findings of <br />the study, fulfills the requirements of item 3 of the March II, <br /> <br />[ <br />I <br /> <br />The purpose of this study is to identify the relative magnitude of <br /> <br />the economic, environmental, and social impacts on the Lower Region <br /> <br />1978 MOA. <br /> <br />Analysis of impacts on the Lower Region's water quality and quantity <br />was accomplished as a part of the hydrologic and water quality <br />analysis conducted for the Upper Colorado River Region 13(a) Assess- <br />ment. The streamflow data used for the Upper Colorado River Region <br />were developed by the Upper Colorado River Region, USBR, Salt Lake <br />City, Utah, and for the Lower Colorado River Region by the Lower <br />Region, USBR, Boulder City, Nevada. The computer model used to <br />simulate operations on the Colorado River System was the USBR's CRSS <br /> <br />3 <br />
