<br />001142 <br /> <br />The NED objective can be served in two basic ways: (1) by increasing <br /> <br />economic values by increasing output or production of goods and services <br /> <br />and (2) by increasing economic efficiency in the production of goods and <br /> <br />services. The Yampa and Green River Basin's economy is largely resource <br /> <br />oriented. Major goods and services produced in the area are agricultural <br /> <br />products, timber, minerals, and outdoor recreation. National economic <br /> <br />development can be served by increasing production of any of these <br /> <br />components provided that the share of national demand allocated to this <br /> <br />area exceeds the current or projected supply (production). More efficient <br /> <br />production of these goods or services will also contribute to the NED <br /> <br />objective. <br /> <br />r <br /> <br />The components of NED identified in the Yampa and Green River Basins are: <br /> <br />(1) increased or more efficient output of outdoor recreation <br /> services and uses <br />(2) incr'eased or more efficient production of agricultural <br /> products <br />(3) increased or more efficient production of mineral resources. <br />(4) increased or more efficient hunting and fishing, <br />(5) increased or more efficient power production. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />The components of EQ identified in the'Yampa and Green River Basins are: <br /> <br />(/(1) <br />) <br /><:./ <br />) <br />( <br /> <br />preserve and protect areas of natural beuaty and river segments <br /> <br />with wild, scenic, or recreational river characteristics <br /> <br />'~ <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />Preserve and protect areas with historic, archeologic, and <br /> <br />cultural value <br />
