The discussion of key characteristics focuses on how the data on current conditions and assumptions about the future were combined to produce baseline projections of employment,population,housing,public 1 .- - ..-. - - - facilities and services,and fiscal balances.The description of the scenarios focuses on two transportation programs.The major modifica- tions that significantly affect the projections of socioeconomic vari- ables are discussed in the final section of Chapter 2.In addition, their anticipated effects on the communities of interest are described. The final section of the report consists of six chapters,each related to an area or community of interest.Areas of interest include:1)the Mat .....Su Borough;2)Talkeetna;3)Trapper Creek;4)Cantwell;5)Anchor- age;.and 6)Fairbanks.These chapters descri be the key differences in the projections of socioeconomic variables as well as the reason for such differences • 2 - ,..... - ,.,., - .- OVERVIEW - - - ,.... 2.0 OVERVIEW 2.1 KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MODEL ~:. Economic base theory was relied upon heavily for model construction be- cause its strength lies in estimating how secondary industry sectors will change in response to a change in direct industry sectors.This is rele- vant for this project because one of the most significant sources of impacts would be employment and population growth that is stimulated by the project's direct employment.As a result,the quantifying approach is deterministic '(causal)--relationships between the variables(s)to be forecast and influencing factors are identified and determined,and then incorporated into the forecasting process. In economic base theory,there are two key concepts.First,the economy is split into two sectors:direct and secondary.Businesses and other economic entities that sell goods and services at places outside of the local economy or whose demand originates from outside of the local econo- my (e.g.,tourism)comprise the direct sector,and those that sell goods and services wi thin the local economy comprise the secondary sec tor. Second,the amount of secondary activity is determined by the amount of direct activity.Thus,an increase in direct activity (e.g.,employment) is accompanied by a corresponding,and roughly predictable,increase in secondary activity.In the model,these predictions are based on aggre- gate employment multipliers. The Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)projections for employment and population serve as the baseline projections for the State,Railbelt Region,and multi-borough levels.Baseline projections for smaller areas were derived by disaggregating the ISER projections using an historical percent share trend analysis. The model is composed of three main modules,each containing equations that compute baseline and with-project (construction and operations) projections on an annual basis.This general structure mirrors economic base theory,as the source of impacts rests in the economic-demographic 1 ..... module where the project's direct jobs induce secondary employment oppor- tunities.Both the direct and secondary jobs may,in turn,cause inmi- gration of people to balance labor demand and supply in the local areas. These impacts are reflected in the public facilities and services module and in the fiscal module.Project-related population can create demands on the housing and public facilities and services in local impact area communities as well as contribute to fiscal resources and increase fiscal outlays. In short,the model produces annual forecasts of employment,population, housing demand,effects on operations and capacities of facilities and services,revenues,and expenditures.Effects on housing and other so- cioeconomic variables are primarily population-driven.That is,changes in population directly influence changes in housing demand,the number of police required for protection,changes in fiscal receipts and outlays, etc. The present structure of the model (and the computerization of its proce- dures)was chosen for several reasons.First,it has the ability to quantify impacts in detail,and for small geographic areas.There are approximately 35 smaller impact areas within the region of interest. Second,it has the ability ·to efficiently handle multiple scenarios such as choice of access corridors,transportation modes to the site,and size of the construction camp/village.Third,the model makes it relatively easy to accommodate changes in important assumptions and to conduct sen- sitivity analyses.Finally,the model can create a variety of reports and output formats,an important consideration that allows the model to serve the diverse needs of the decision-maker. 2.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SCENARIOS Two sets of impact projections are summarized and compared in the follow- ing chapters.The first set consists of impact projections that were reported in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)License Ap- plication.These projections were prepared in 1982 and were based on the use of personal vehicles by construction workers to gain access to the site.The second set of projections consists of two scenarios that 2 ..... incorporate updates of baseline information that were available from secondary sources and the socioeconomic surveys conducted in October of 1983,as well as enhancements that were made to the economic/demographic module.The two scenarios are differentiated by the mode of access to the site.One scenario considers personal vehicle transportation and the other considers bus transportation. The differences between the two scenarios are slight because the bus transportation scenario assumes that stops are made in every community between Fairbanks and the Project site.This set of pickup points does not alter the travel times between the communities and the Project site significantly.The net result is that the travel times for each communi- ty are similar under the two scenarios and the observed differences in relocation are slight.However,changes in the pick-up si tes could sub- stantially alter travel times and produce substantial differences in the distribution of project-related impacts. 2.3 SUMMARY OF KEY MODIFICATIONS AND THEIR EFFECTS A summary of the important changes that were made in the model routines and procedures since its development and use in the FERC license applica- tion are described below.-The section is divided into subsections that correspond to important socioeconomic variables such as employment,popu- lation,etc. 2.3.1 Employment 2.3.1.1 Village Assignment Procedures.Explicit consideration of the types of workers (by labor category,origin,and marital status)that would be assigned to the limited number of family housing units at the village was made to account for the effects of different housing unit allocation schemes on population inmigration into areas that may be significantly affected by the construction and operation of the Susi tna Hydroelectric Project. Effect.Reduces the number of workers that permanently relocate to local impact area communities.Because it is assumed that family housing units 3 .- - I I r - - at the village will primarily be allocated to out-of-state workers,the amount of inmigration into Anchorage and Fairbanks by these workers is reduced in the revised set of impact projections as compared to the FERC license application. 2.3.1.2 Work Camp Attractiveness Factors.Consideration of the attrac- tiveness of the work camp led to an upward adjustment in the number of single workers that may relocate their residence to places in the local impact area (defined as the Mat-Su Borough and the Railbelt portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk census area).Currently,the number of single workers that will consider relocation within the Railbelt is slightly higher (10 percent)than that assumed fo~the FERC license application (0 percent) and reflects a judgment by the consultant that the suburbanization of Anchorage is not ·strictly limited to married people. Effect.Slight increases in employment by place of residence and popula- tion in communities near the project. 2.3.2 Population 2.3.2.1 Baseline Population Updates.Baseline forecasts were revised based on socioeconomic surv~y results and updated ISER projections. Effect.Baseline and with-project populations (and hence derived fac- tors)are higher in revised forecasts than in FERC license application, except for Anchorage.Changes vary across locations,but direction of change is consistent,again,with the exception of Anchorage. 2.3.2.2 Addi tion of a Gravi ty Model.Changes in community allocation procedures that distribute population to places in the impact area were made.The introduction of an attraction-constrained gravity model cre- a tes the ability to trade-off travel time and community amenities,an ability that more accurately reflects a worker's decision-making process about the relocation of a household.Previously,allocation was deter- mined entirely by travel time considerations. 4 - - .... Effect.Varies across communities;tends to increase the with-project population in communities with more amenities and decrease them in com- munities with fewer amenities. 2.3.2.3 Inclusion of Additional Communities.The community allocation model was modified between the FERC license application and the revised impact projections to include more communities,thus distributing popula- tion among a larger number of communities.Communities that were recent- ly added include:Healy,McKinley Park,Nenana,Glennallen,Copper Cen- ter,Gulkana,Valdez,and Paxson.The additional communities provided a more comprehensive listing for places -into which workers may choose to relocate. Effect.In the revised forecasts,communities that were included in the FERC license application show lower population effects since impact popu- lation is distributed across more communities. 2.3.2.4 Relocation Prior To 1987.In the FERC license application, construction workers living in the Railbelt were not allowed to relocate into the local impact area (Mat-Su Borough and Railbelt portion of the Yukon-Koyukuk census area)until 1987.In the revised set of impact projections,it was assumed'that Railbelt workers could start relocation in 1985.Potential Railbelt employees would have an incentive to reduce their commuting time as qUickly as possible once employment on the proj- ect is obtained.Some workers would a+.so want to move quickly in order to act on their preference for rural lifestyle. Effect.Varies across communities depending on whether they are inside or outside the local impact area.Communi ties wi thin the local impact area would experience higher population impacts in 1985 and 1986 while Anchorage and Fairbanks would experience lower population due to higher rates of outmigration (since these communities are sending workers into the local impact area in 1985 and 1986)• 5 ..... I - 2.3.2.5 Outmigration of Direct Workers.Assumptions regarding the out- migration of direct workers from places of relocation following termina- tion of employment were changed to reflect more current information from other projects.In the FERC license application,the outmigration rate for direct workers was 0 percent.Modifications to the model increased the outmigration rate for workers of Railbelt origin to 20 percent and the outmigration rate for workers of other Alaska and out-of-state ori- gin to 50 percent.Studies of other construction projects have shown that between 20 and 60 percent of relocating workers leave after their work ona project is completed. Effect.For the local impact area communities,increasing the out- migration rate (reducing the retention rate)for the direct inmigrating workers will cause population to be lower in the revised set of impact projections than in the FERC license application projections after 1990. For Anchorage and Fairbanks,this change tends to increase the revised population projections compared to the projections in the FERC license application after the year 1990. 2.3.2.6 Outmigration of Secondary Workers.Assumptions regarding the outmigration of secondary workers from places of relocation were also changed to reflect both the desire of these workers to remain in places more rural than Anchorage and their knowledge of local employment oppor- tunities.Accordingly,outmigration rates of secondary workers who relocated to the local impact area were changed from 100 percent in the FERC license application to 30 percent in the revised impact projections. Effect.For local impact area communities,the effect of reducing the outmigration rate for secondary workers resulted in an increase in the population impact of the project on these communities after 1990 for the revised impact projections as compared to the projections in the FERC license application.These workers are still tracked as project-related population because it is assumed that they would not have relocated in the local impact area unless they obtained long-term jobs on the Susitna Project. 6 .... - - - - For Anchorage and Fairbanks,the effect of reducing the outmigration rate for secondary workers resulted in an increase in the population effect of the project after 1990.Because secondary employment multipliers are es- timated to be high for these communities,this change reflects a substan- tial percentage of the difference between the two sets of projections. 2.3.2.7 Dependents Per Construction Worker.Based on additional studies of construction workers and their characteristics,the household size for the project-related population during construction was increased from 3.11 persons per household in the FERC license application projections to 3.51 persons per household in the revised projections.Data from three surveys of construction workers supported the change in the assumption. Effect.The population associated with a given number of inmigrating construction workers is higher in the revised set of projections for communities experiencing net inmigration than with the assumptions used in the FERC license application. 2.3.2.8 Labor Force Participation Of Secondary Household Members.In the revised forecasts,statewide data on the number of jobholders per household were used to estimate labor force participation of other mem- bers of secondary worker households,thus lowering the population in- migration for secondary employment.No such adjustments were made for the projections in the FERC license application. Effect.This modification lowers the impact population and with-project population forecasts for communities receiving secondary inmigration as compared to the forecasts of population in the FERC license application. 2.3.2.9 Adjustment for Vacated Local Jobs.In the revised forecasts,an adjustment was made to account for jobs that would be vacated by local r~sidents who obtained employment on the Susitna Hydroelectric Project. An estimate of vacated local jobs,based on employment rates,was made in order to determine the number of jobs that might require inmigration of nonlocal residents.These jobs are not counted as secondary employment 7 r- i - - I""'" i benefi ts of the project since they existed prior to the project.How- ever,consideration of these jobs allows a more comprehensive approach to be taken in specifying the labor demand in relevant impact areas,match- ing this with the available local supply of labor,and forecasting the amount of in-migration. Effect.The effect of this modification is to raise the population im- pacts forecast in the revised set of projections when compared to those in the FERC license application. 2.3.2.10 Support Operations Workers.The number of secondary operati~ns workers that would reside in Mat-Su Borough communities and in Anchorage were reestimated in the revised forecasts by developing an adjustment for income spent by direct operations workers.First,the percentage of income spent in each community that would provide goods and services to the operations workers was determined.Second,these percentages were applied to the total direct operations work force to determine the size of the income effect and to define it in terms of employment.Third, these employment estimates were used to project the number of secondary operations workers that would reside in each community. Effect.Population projections for the Mat-Su Borough and Anchorage are higher during the operations period in the revised forecasts than com- pared to the forecasts in the FERC license application. 2.3.2.11 Changes in Community Boundaries.In order to keep certain community boundaries compatible with on-going survey and data collection efforts,several community boundaries were changed. Effect.The effect of this change varies by community.For example,in the revised forecasts,the boundaries of Talkeetna were contracted to include only the townsite rather than the area being considered for in- corporation in 1981.Trapper Creek boundaries were changed to exclude one area on west Petersville Road and to include an area extending six miles south on Oilwell Road.The net effect was a reduction in the areas of Talkeetna and Trapper Creek,which reduced the population of these communities in the revised forecasts. 8 .... - :, 2.3.3 Housi ng 2.3.3.1 Changes in Household Size.Average household sizes for the baseline population of the local impact area communities,Anchorage,and Fairbanks were revised to reflect changes made by the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)in their projections for the state household size in 2005 as well as updated information on current conditions in the communities.It was assumed that household sizes for communities would converge to the state household size by the year 2005.The ISER projec- tion for Alaska's household size in 2005,which was used in the FERC license application,was 2.556 people per household.ISER's revised figure of 2.844 was used in the revised impact projections.Estimated 1983 household sizes were revised downward slightly for all communi ties of interest,except Cantwell which dropped significantly from 2.8 to 2.38. Effect.The net result of increased household size is that every commun- i ty except Cantwell experiences less housing demand from .i ts baseline population in the revised impact projections than in the projections in the FERC license application.For Cantwell,housing demand is lower prior to 1995 and greater thereafter when compared to the FERC license application projections. 2.3.4 Facilities and Services 2.3.4.1 Change in Recreation Standard.The recreation standard in the FERC license application is based on housing units.However,because of the large number of vacant housing units in the Mat-Su Borough,it was determined that households would be a better indicator of the need for such facilities. Effec to The effect of this change is to lower the need for recreation facilities in the revised projections as compared to the projections in the FERC license application. 9 2.3.4.2 Change in Number of Inmigrating Married Workers.The number of married workers moving into the community of Cantwell was raised to be comparable to the proportion of married workers inmigrating into other communities. Effect.This change raises the number of school children forecast for Cantwell compared to the FERC license application projections. 2.3.4.3 Change in School Children Calculations.The number of school children per accompanied inmigrating worker was raised from 0.89 in the FERC license application to 1.003 in the revised set of projections. Effect.This modification raises the number of school children forecast for the Mat-Su Borough and the communites of Trapper Creek,Talkeetna, and Cantwell compared to the forecasts in the FERC license application. 2.3.5 Fiscal. 2.3.5.1 Changes in Per Capita Multipliers.Per capita multipliers of all services and for all sources of revenues were adjusted in the revised set of impact projections to reflect updated information from budgets. Effect.Varies across services in the Mat-Su Borough. 2.3.5.2 Changes In The Growth Rate For Areawide Assessed Valuation.The growth rate for areawide assessed valuation in the Mat-Su Borough was adjusted upward from 4 percent per year to 7 percent per year to reflect more current data on property valuation. Effect.Raises the revenue side of the fiscal balance equation for the Mat-Su Borough in the revised 1983 forecasts compared to the forecasts in the FERC license application. 10 MATANUSKA-SUSIJNA BOROUGH ,..., "... - 3.0 MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH (OFF-SITE) SUMMARY OF SOCIOECONOMIC IMPACT PROJECTIONS 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter summarizes and compares the projected impacts of the Susitna Hydroelectric Project on the Matanuska-Susi tna Borough.The following tables present the baseline,with-project,and impact forecasts for the FERC License Application and for the two transportation scenarios in the 1983 revised projections.Table 1 presents the population forecasts for each of these scenarios annually from 1985 to 2002.Tables 2 and 3 show the employment,population,and housing demand forecasts for the years 1990 (peak construction)and 2002 (full operations).Tables 4 through 11 summarize the facilities/services/fiscal forecasts for the same two years. 3.2 KEY CHANGES Table 1 presents the baseline,with-project,and impact population pro- jections for each of the three scenarios under consideration.In all cases,the impact population peaks in 1990 and falls until 1995 before rising to a lower peak in 1999.Thereafter,population falls toward a more stable long-term pattern during the operations period for the hydro- electric project. As shown in tables 1 through 11,the main differences between the FERC license application projections and the revised forecasts developed in 1983 were: - 1. 2. 3. higher baseline population projections in the 1983 forecasts, although differences narrow after 1994; higher impact population projections in every year in the 1983 forecasts except for 1987 to 1989 under the car transportation scenario; higher with-project and impact population forecasts for the bus 1 ....4. transportation scenario than the revised car transportation scenario,impact population is 5 to 9 percent higher over the projection period under the bus transportation scenario; higher impact employment by place of residence in the 1983 fore- casts through 2002,revised car and bus transportation scenarios are 6 percent and 11 percent higher,respectively,in 1990; 5.higher baseline household projections in the 1983 forecasts until 1996; 6.lower impact household projections in the 1983 forecasts until 1995 (see changes in outmigration rates,section 2.3.2.6) 7.higher baseline and impact police manpower requirements in the 1983 forecasts; - 8.lower baseline and impact recreation facility requirements in the 1983 forecasts (see recreation standards,section 2.3.4.1); 9.higher baseline and impact school children enrollments for both the primary and secondary ages groups and higher school capacity estimates in the 1983 forecasts; 10.higher baseline and impact revenues and expenditures for the general fund in the 1983 forecasts,leading to lower deficits or higher surpluses in the fiscal balance in the 1983 forecasts; 11.lowler baseline and impact service fund outlays and higher base- line and lower impact service fund revenues,leading to greater, positive revised baseline and impact fiscal balance forecasts; 12.higher baseline revenues and lower baseline expenditures for the school district,leading to greater positive baseline fiscal balances in the 1983 forecasts;and -- 13.higher impact revenues and mixed effect on impact outlays for the school district in the 1983 forecasts,leading to greater surpluses or lower deficits with differences narrowing over time. 2 - .....

As sho~m in these tables,the main differences between the FERC license application projections and the revised forecasts developed in 1983 are: 1.lower baseline population projections in the 1983 forecasts (see changes in community boundaries,section 2.3.2.11); -2.lower with-project and impact population projections in the 1983 forecasts except for 1985 and 1986; 1 3.higher with-project and impact population forecasts for the bus transportation scenario than the revised car transportation scenario,impact population is 5 to 14 percent higher over the projection period under the bus transportation scenario; 4.lower impact employment by place of residence in the 1983 fore- casts,revised car and bus transportation scenarios are 40 per- cent and 43 percent of the FERC projections,respectively,in 1990; 5.lower baseline,with-project,and impact household projections in the 1983 forecasts; - - 6. 7. lowE~r baseline and impact school children enrollments for both the primary and secondary ages groups but higher percent in- crease over baseline in the 1983 forecasts;and lower school capacity estimates in the 1983 forecasts. 2 - - - TABLE 1 COMMUNITY OF TALKEETNA POPULATION PROJECTIONS,FERC LICENSE APPLICATION SCENARIO, AND 1983 REVISED CAR AND BUS TRANSPORTATION SCENARIOS, 1985-2002 Year FERC License Application Revised Impact Projections With-Project and Impact With-Project and Impact Population Projections Population Projections Personal Vehicle Transportation Scenario Transportation Scenario Car Bus Baseline W-Proj.Impact Baseline W-Proj.Impact W-Proj.Impact 1985 780 805 25 358 410 52 416 58 1986 820 853 33 376 446 70 456 80 1987 862 1,036 174 395 485 90 493 98 1988 906 1,143 237 415 547 132 557 142 1989 952 1,219 267 436 588 152 599 163 1990 1,000 1,335 335 457 652 195 666 209 1991 1,051 1,374 323 480 670 190 684 204 1992 1,104 1,398 294 504 684 180 694 190 1993 1,160 1,410 250 529 691 162 698 169 1994 1,219 1,452 233 556 711 155 721 165 1995 1,281 1,503 222 584 732 148 746 162 1996 1,347 1,576 .229 613 768 155 778 165 1997 1,415 1,655 240 643 805 162 815 172 1998 1,487 1,740 253 676 841 165 859 183 1999 1,563 1,820 257 709 873 164 891 182 2000 1,642 1,893 251 745 909 164 924 179 2001 1,726 1,956 230 782 933 151 950 168 2002 1,814 2,023 209 821 968 147 975 154 Source:Frank Orth &Associates~Inc.,1983.

In the 1983 revised projections,two transportation scenarios that in- clude a "no land constraint"assumption were presented.One scenario considers personal vehicle transportation and the other considers bus transportation.These two scenarios reflect updates of baseline informa- tion that were available ·from secondary sources and the socioeconomic surveys conducted in October 1983,as well as enhancements that were made to the economic-demographic module used for project planning • The present model uses an attraction-constrained gravity model to redis- tribute population among local impact area communities and is not capable of dealing with supply constraints such as the availability of land. However,it is expected that impact projections using updated baseline information would be about the same as those shown in the FERC license application scenario that includes a land constraint. The following tables present the baseline,with-project,and impact fore- casts for the FERC License Application and for the two transportation scenarios in the 1983 revised projections. 1 ,- - ..... Table 1 presents the population forecasts for each of these scenarios annually from 1985 to 2002.Tables_2 and 3 show the employment,popula- tion,and housing demand forecasts for the years 1990 (peak construction) and 2002 (full operations).Tables 4 through 5 summarize the facilitiesl services forecasts for the same two years. 6.2 KEY CHANGES Table 1 presents the baseline,with-project,and impact population pro- jections for each of the four scenarios under consideration.In all cases,the impact population peaks in 1990 and falls until 1995 before rising to a lower peak in 1999.Thereafter,population falls toward a more stable long-term pattern during the operations period of the hydro- electric project. As shown in these tables,the main differences between the FERC license application projections and the revised forecasts developed in 1983 are: 1.higher baseline population projections in the 1983 forecasts; - - 2. 3. lower with-project and impact population projections in the 1983 forecasts except for 1986,although differences in impact popu- lation narrow after 1990 (see changes in outmigration rates, section 2.3.2.6); higher with-project and impact population forecasts for the bus transportation scenario than the revised car transportation scenario,impact population is 6 to 8 percent higher over the projection period under the bus transportation scenario; ,..., 4.lower impact employment by place of residence in the 1983 fore- casts,revised car and bus transportation scenarios are 88 per- cent and 95 percent of the FERC projections,respectively,in 1990; 2 5.higher baseline and lower with-project and impact household projections in the 1983 forecasts;and - - - - 6.higher baseline,with-project,and impact school children en- rollments in the 1983 forecasts. 3 - - - - TABLE 1 COMMUNITY OF CANTWELL POPULATION PROJECTIONS.FERC LICENSE APPLICATION SCENARIO.
