| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; expenditures are important to the local economy they are not considered of measure of the benefits of the project from a national point of view the angler day unit value was estimated using the contingent valuation methodology the contingent valuation method typically involves the use of surveys to estimate peoples willingness to pay for improved recreational conditions environmental improvements etc this technique is usually used to place a dollar value on regional environmental benefits that are difficult to quantify they can then be compared against the costs of a project in benefit cost analysis economic benefits describe that part of the human environment that identify beneficial and adverse effects on the economy of a proposed action and its alternatives US water resources council 1983 b21128 social impacts potentially affected social groups were defined and described these groups consist of individuals who would be affected in a similar manner by the proposed action and alternatives the groups often overlap because some individuals have interests and concerns that place them in more than one group for example a fanner also may be a recreationist conservationist or local property owner members of each social group would likely experience common impacts on their lifestyles behavior attitudes values and general wellbeing well being social impacts were identified and characterized by reviewing detailed descriptions of the proposed action and alternatives findings of other socioeconomics impact topics and results of the agriculture recreation noise health and safety and transportation analyses the analysis also included a review of the social assessment guidelines of the USFS and US bureau of land management BLM and documentation of scoping related meetings with heber valley farmers land owners and other interested individuals b212 health and safety B 2121 212.1 b2121 3121 assumptions the health and safety analysis assumed the transportation health and safety air quality and noise SOPs would be successfully implemented the flood frequency analysis assumed historic hydrology is representative of future hydrology b2122 impact topic analysis methods b21221 construction hazards hazards related to construction traffic were assessed by using the results of the transportation analysis and reviewing the related transportation SOPs other hazards to construction workers and the general public during construction were assessed by reviewing construction procedures for the proposed action and alternatives and the health and safety noise and air quality SOPs the SOPs SON were then compared against the USBR safety and health manual USBR 1993 to determine if they would sufficiently protect workers and the general public b21222 hazards related to flooding from streams and canals an analysis was conducted by project engineers to determine the expected frequency of flooding and the area inundated by 2 10 and 100 year flood events flood events that are expected to occur an average of every 2 10 and 100 years based on historic hydrology this information infoimation anfor infor nation was used to help formulate the proposed acl act action ion and pa p1 PRRP 1 1 P alternatives including placement of dikes to contain 100 year flood flows potential hazards to people associated with these flood events were identified b21223 other hazards during operation the results of the transportation and recreation analyses were reviewed to assess the potential for accidents related to recreation traffic after construction the maintenance requirements of the proposed action and PRRP alternatives also were reviewed page B 19 |
