Abstract
This report reflects the second
phase of work assessing socioeconomic impacts approved by the
BRDC. It provides quantification of the existing conditions on the
Boardman River with detail sufficient to conduct socioeconomic
modeling. It addresses recreational use, property values,
electricity generation, and local economic impacts. Specifically,
this report:
• Identifies the methodologies to be used in the
socioeconomic evaluation of dam-management
alternatives
• Quantifies the existing conditions for recreational use of
the Boardman River
• Quantifies the existing level of recreational expenditures
for recreational users of the Boardman River
• Quantifies the values of potentially affected properties
along the Boardman River
• Considers conditions for electricity generation from three of
the dams.
