Bureau of <br />Reclamation hydrological operation studies for Ruedi Reservoir demon- <br />strates that the reservoir could satisfy the irrigation demand for the <br />potential Basalt Project that could not be supplied from Cattle, Coulter, <br />and Sopris Creeks. Although the present municipal and induatrial water <br />for the oil shale industry in the Rifle-De Beque area can be met by the <br />reservoir at this time, future extensive oil shale development will <br />require additional supplemental water. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />11. Issue: The Draft Environmental Statement fails in most respects <br />to comply with the evaluation of primary and secondary effects of the <br />project and of alternatives to the Project, by limiting its impact <br />evaluation to engineering data as contrasted with social, environmental, <br />governmental and like considerations. <br /> <br />Raised by: <br /> <br />Representing <br /> <br />Dwight Shellman, Jr. <br /> <br />Pitkin County Commissioners <br />(letter of May 30, 1914) <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />Chapter IV of the Final Environmental Statement discusses the environ- <br />mental impacts of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. These primary and <br />secondary impacts are identified for each of the Project features. <br />This chapter also contains an analysis of the cumulative Projectwide <br />impacts. There is also a synopsis of the impacts associated with <br />features built before the passage of NEPA, those completed or under <br />construction, and featurea yet to be built. This chapter contains <br />only sufficient data on Project features to analyze and discuss their <br />impacts. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />12. !eG~~: Th~ ~Lacement does not attempt to consider in any way the <br />effects on local government and service and taxing policies which will <br />result from the proposed development. <br /> <br />Raised by: <br /> <br />Representing <br /> <br />Dwight Shellman, Jr. <br /> <br />Pitkin County Commissioners <br />(letter of May 30, 1974) <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />Chapter IV of this statement contains several discussions and evalua- <br />tions of possible impacts of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project on local <br />entities. These include the impacts associated with withdrawal of <br />lands from the local tax base, the influx of construction workers and <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />XI-477 <br />
