During the peak of construction, 26 construc- tion people would occupy housing, including any local workers. Four units, now vacant, would be occupied by operation and maintenance personnel and their families. About 26 workers would be needed during the peak construction period; 21 of these workers would likely be local residents. Only four operation and maintenance workers and their families would be associated with the unit over the long term. The construction force or operation and main- tenance workers and their families would have a negligible effect on services. The energy for vehicles and machinery would be short- and long-term commitments of resources. Visual effects would exist for the life of the unit, or longer, until facilities were removed and the landscape restored. These qualities would both degrade slightly but would remain within legal standards. The unit would remove 20,900 tons of salt and 2.75 cis (about 2,000 acre-feet/year) of water and store it in the Coconino Sandstone. Vegetation on 25 acres would be lost to unit facilities construction; landscaping after construction would offset these losses. Post- construction monitoring would identify the long-term effects. During construction, short-term decreases of the local population of small mammals and birds would occur and some small terrestrial animals would be lost. Long-term populations would not be affected. No effects. The Wright fishhook cactus is being further evaluated to eliminate effects from construc- tion of facilities and roads. The unit would not disturb any significant cultural resources. No effects. 002329 S-21
