In addition to the <br />social effects of economic and employ- <br />ment opportunities provided through <br />irrigation, power generation, and industrial <br />water, the development of land and water <br />for municipal, recreation, and fish and <br />wildlife purposes also affect people in <br />the project area. Preservation and <br />enhancement of the affected population's <br />social well-being are both emphasized <br />in the social assessment process. <br /> <br />18 <br /> <br />..... <br /> <br /> <br />Abandoned homestead above eastern Shoreline <br />of Goshen Bay. Utah <br /> <br />Major social, economic, and demo- <br />graphic studies of the West Divide Project <br />in Colorado and Upalco Unit of the <br />Central Utah Project were completed in <br />FY 1980, Continued studies of the San <br />Miguel Project and Blue Mesa Peaking <br />Power Investigation, are nearing com- <br />pletion, while the Glen Canyon Peaking <br />Power Investigation, Central Utah Project, <br />Uintah Unit and Dominguez Project <br />studies continue. Most of these studies <br />uflize the BREAM I computer model to <br />place economic and demographic present <br />and future conditions, with and without <br />the proposed projects, into perspective, <br />Subjective, non-statistical effects are <br />analyzed using mutually enhancing social <br />assessment and public involvement <br />techniques in all project investigations. <br />Although these studies are conducted by <br />Regional and Project Office personnel, <br />close coordination is maintained with the <br />project area's affected population. Meet- <br />ing the project area's problems and needs <br />is the basic purpose of this program. <br /> <br /> <br />Ridgway Dam Archeological Investigations-view <br />showing an old barn <br />
