<br />OOJ95~ <br /> <br />- 22 - <br /> <br />Solid Waste and Hazardous Materials Evaluation - Coal. Oil and. Gas-- <br />Only moderate to minimal environmental impacts have been identified for coal <br />mining and oil and gas development. <br /> <br />Solid Waste and Hazardous Materials Evaluation - Uranium--Significant <br />environmental impact from in situ mining on ground water could occur. Also. <br />radium and uranium content of discharge mine water could cause a problem for <br />suburban water users. It is assumed that there would be minimal problems <br />with uranium mine and mill siting with respect to any local impacts. Although <br />further careful review is necessary, it is felt that with appropriate technology <br />and resources the problems identified above can be mitigated. <br /> <br />Solid Waste and Hazardous Materials Evaluation - Secondary Impacts-- <br />Significant solid waste and hazardous waste impact could occur from <br />population growth in communities and power plant activity. Again. with <br />appropriate control and resources. it is anticipated that these impacts could <br />be mitigated. <br /> <br />Public Agency Costs-- The additional costs of energy development to public <br />agencies to permit, inspect and enforce their responsibilities under current <br />law were developed. Using the population and energy resource production <br />figures, rough estimates were calculated. These estimates reflect costs <br />and personnel needs above the 1980 Fiscal Year levels necessary to insure <br />that the energy resources are developed in accord with State and Federal <br />law. . <br /> <br />Appendix D identifies these costs and Full Time Equivalents (FTEs). <br />Also, this appendix summarizes the environmental impacts previously discussed. <br />
