When socioeconomic impacts have been <br /> <br />identified as a major issue indeed the major issue <br /> <br />it is totally inappropriate to limit Deseret's responsi- <br /> <br /> <br />bility in the area of community impacts to aiding local <br /> <br /> <br />governments "in planning for project-related community <br /> <br /> <br />impacts" (DEIS at 114) and to identifying .several social <br /> <br /> <br />and economic mitigating measures that they will or may <br /> <br /> <br />support" (id. at 115). The socioeconomic impacts of a <br /> <br /> <br />project of this magnitude can hardly be mitigated by the <br /> <br /> <br />.addition of another police car or a new teacher in the <br /> <br /> <br />Town of Rangely; to assert that they can or should is to <br /> <br /> <br />be deliberately blind to the fiscal stresses and dislo- <br /> <br /> <br />cations caused by imposing a project (Units 1 and 2) worth <br /> <br />approximately $1 billion on the limited public services of <br /> <br /> <br />nearby communities.
