Corrrnunitv Facility and Service Standards

The following tal be. of standards was. used to derive the corrrnunity facility
and service needs occasioned by.the energy development population scenarios.
The standards.were applied. to the difference between capacity after the .
improvements outlined from our FY79 State 601 investment plan, and the
populations outlined in the erengy development-scenarios for the decade of
the 80's. .

The use of' per capita standards is admitted1y.rough.. However, at the broad
county and multi-county level we feel it is justified and gives the overall
needs implications. to what are quite speculative population scenarios. ~
Firm planning for th~ location of the facilities. and service must wait until
we have finn proposals for.specific..energy facilities from both the private
and public sectors.
