<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />111-102 <br /> <br /> <br />Chapter III - Affected Environment/Environmental Consequences <br />PDEIS - Navajo Reservoir Operations <br /> <br />383 Impacts Analysis <br />384 <br />385 Measuring changes in local economic impacts resulting from a Federal action should play <br />386 an important part in making policy decisions, Often, the COWlty economic base is so <br />387 diversified that changes in specific scctors such as recrcation and tourism have very <br />388 insignificant impacts on the overall COWlty output. However, local areas that have <br />389 limited economic bases (like the small communitics and towns along the San Juan River) <br />390 can be particularly impacted. <br />391 <br />392 Providing and maintaining recreational/tourism opponwllties that bring people into <br />393 these areas does make a significant difference to local incomcs and employment, <br />394 Improving economic activity in these rural areas has becn and continues to be a <br />395 longstanding public policy objective, <br />396 <br />397 Only those resource areas that would be inlpacted socioeconomically by the alternatives <br />398 are discussed. The primary impact area would be the rwo San Juan coWlties through <br />399 which the San Juan River flows in New Mexico and Utah before entering Lake Powell. <br />400 <br />401 For the 250/5000 Preferrcd Alternative, water supplies to users would remain intact, <br />402 thereby maintaining those resources without adverse impact. Based on observations <br />403 during the 2001 SWllmer Low Flow Test, the areas of major socioeconomic impact <br />404 would include river recreation users and hydropower generation at the City of <br />405 Farmington powerplant, Future major economic development would be jeopardized <br />406 lUlder the No Action and 500/5000 Alternatives, but to an lUldetermined extent. The <br />407 economic impacts have not been quantified for non-agricultural projects that have <br />408 received ESA compliance (i.e., the ALP Project) although these projects would be <br />409 impacted, <br />410 <br />411 <br />412 No Action Alternative <br />413 <br />414 The area would continue to follow the economic course which is currently being <br />415 pursued. The following could be jeopardized: Future development of agriculruralland <br />416 on the Navajo reservation; municipal and industrial w,lter supplies for the Navajo and <br />417 Jicarilla Apache Nation; and water settlements of the Ute Mowltain Ute and Southern <br />418 Ute Indi:U1 Tribes. <br /> <br />January 25, 2002 - Not for Public Review - Draft <br />
