hlr. David Shelton h:ay 8, 1981 Page I4ine Attachment R). Accoroiny to those fiyures, a canmunity can anticipate capital costs of $1U,79U per new resident and operating costs of $1,019 per new resident. Thus, the 1,500-2,3UU new residents from Phase I of tha Deserado development will increase capital costs of 10 million to 24 million dollars and will increase operating costs by 1.5 million to 2.3 million dollars. These fiyures alone show t[iat the project will have significant impacts on the county antl its municipalities. Yet the mitigation plan proposed by 47estern Fuels-Utah, Inc., as contained in the Final ETS, fails to address almost all categories of com- munity and leasing needs anticipated by the county (see Attachment B). Influx of 1,SU0-2,300 new people will create a need, if net now, witlu n the next five years, to expand almost all coc~niunity services. FJater, sewer, schools, college facilities, hospitals, fire, police, recreation and other services must expand capacity to meet the Deserado yrowtn as well as the anticipated oil shale development. Examination of tue Deserado mitigation plan reveals only tl:e S11yf,tESt intentions of addressing these concerns. For eaalaple, tue blanket anu incorrect statement is made that no water or sewer facilities will be required. Tire assertion is made that school facilities are adequate with only art addition of two teachers in 1981-82 and four teachers in 1982-3 being necessary. Health care facil- ities are deemed adequate in spite of the position of the hospital administrator that expansion of facilities will be required wtlen the oil shale growth is auded to the Deserado-related yrowt[1. Western Fuels' proposed solution to law enforcelaent problems is to add one policeman and one patrol car to the Town of Ranyely. Nutiriny is set aside for recreation.
