Construction would have a positive, though minimal, effect on the local econany. no Adequate housing or trailer spaces would be available in the local communities. no Approximately 37 people, including construction workers, would be in the unit area during the peak year of construction. no The construction force and their families would have a minimal effect on services. no The energy for vehicles and IlI3chinery would be short-term commitments of resources. yes Visual effects would exist for the life of the unit, or longer, until facilities were removed and the landscape restored. The facilities will be designed to blend with the surrounding area as much as possible. no These qualities would both degrade slightly but would remain within leqal standards. no The operation of the system during the test period would periodically reduce river flow approximately 1.5 cis or 1,086 acre-feet annually. no Fourteen acres of vegetation would be disturbed during construction; landscaping and reseeding after construction would offset these losses. Net loss of less than 10 acres. no During construction, short-term decreases of local populations of small IlI3mmals and birds would occur. Long-term losses to populations would be minimal. no The test would improve the water quality that would improve the fisheries habitat. no yes See Scenery, Air, and Noise Above. no During construction, there would be minor visual and audio effects. no During construction, there would be minor visual and audio effects. no The unit would not disturb any significant cultural resources. 17 00 59
