<br />. <br /> <br />5406 <br /> <br />There are nearly 15 miles of rock blasting anticipated to 1nstall <br />the conduit. Some straight-line scarring of the vegetation ~nd <br />landscape will be incurred from the construction of "he conduit. <br />Dust will be stirred up by construction vehicles uSing existing <br />dirt roads for acceSs to the construction sites. <br /> <br />J. Cultural Resources <br /> <br />The cultural resources survey of the proposed alinement" revealed roo <br />absence of archeologic and historic sites. However, unknown sites <br />may be encountered during construction. These sites may he rlestroyed <br />from the construction activity or the testing of significant sites. <br /> <br />K. Land Use and Ownership <br /> <br />Nearly 30 acres will be purchased in fee title and used permanently <br />for surge tanks, terminal tanks, pump plants, and aCcess roads. <br />These changes in land ownership and use will cause long-term <br />inconveniences, hardships and nuisances to the present owners. <br /> <br />About 9.1 miles of the alinement is classifien as rangelands and <br />will be temporarily out of production until the conduit is completed. <br />This will be an inconvenience and possibly result in a revenue loss <br />to the present lsnd owners. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />L. Socio-Economic Characteristics <br /> <br />There may be an adverse economic effect on the real estate values <br />in the immediate vicinity of the conduit particularly in the <br />Liberty Point area. The lower value of real estate may be rlue to <br />the presence of the surge tanks, terminal tanks and the construction <br />activity. <br /> <br />"------M;--Othet impacts <br /> <br />Energy - About 1,800,000 gallons of fuel, 35,000 gallons of lubricants <br />will be used in construction, and about 55,000,000 kilowatt hours of <br />base load fossil fuel energy per year will be consumed to operate <br />the pumps. This energy will be irretrievably committed and will <br />preclude any opportunity to use it for other purposes. <br /> <br />VI-3 <br /> <br />. <br />
