Title	Socio-Economic technical report for the Uintah Basin synfuels environmental impact statement. Volume 1.
Description	The Socio-Economic Technical Report for the Regional Synthetic Fuels Environmental Impact Statement provides the economic and demographic baseline and impact projections used for analyses of the other components of the study which requires such information. The study area includes both the oil shale and tar sands resource areas and the communities impacted by the development of those resources. Initially the study area was defined as the Uintah Basin Multi-county Planning District (MCD) which encompasses most of the area; it includes the Utah counties of Daggett, Duchesne, and Uintah. Grand County, part of the Southeast Association of Governments, is included as a potential impact area. A portion of the impact is also anticipated to affect Rio Blanco, Moffat and Mesa Counties in Colorado. A criterion of significant impacts was applied to the projected population impacts; this resulted in a more narrowly defined geographic and political area for further analysis. The criterion used was that if the population impact generated an increase of ten percent or more to the baseline population, it was significant. This rule was applied to the county projections and the community projections to determine which of those would be analyzed. The final study area includes, in Utah, Duchesne and Uintah counties and the communities of Vernal, Roosevelt, Myton and Ballard. In Colorado, the impacts are not significant at the county level but are significant for the communities of Rangely and Dinosaur. In the following discussion these two communities will be the area of focus for analyzing the impacts in Colorado. In cases where the analysis is made only at the county level and not at the community level, such as for personal income, Moffat and Rio Blanco Counties are included. It should be noted that the analysis of the impact on communities is limited to incorporated towns. The impacts of the unincorporated areas can be significant and should be taken into consideration in any decision-making process. However the lack of defined boundaries for unincorporated areas precludes them from the type of analysis undertaken in this report. The year of peak construction employment and the year of full operations employment were selected as the points in time for detailed analyses of impacts. The report is organized in two volumes: This volume (v. 1) includes the scenarios for the regional analysis.--Volume 1 Introduction.
