Alaska OCS Socioeconomic Studies Program. Technical Report Number 59. St. George Basin Petroleum Development Scenarios: Local Socioeconomic Systems Analysis

摘要

This report includes detailed community baseline data about Unalaska, Cold Bay, and St. Paul. It also projects and analyzes how the infrastructure of these towns could be affected by future growth without the proposed St. George Basin OCS Lease Sale No. 70. For Unalaska, possible impacts of OCS activity under an 'exploration only' and a 'mean' petroleum development scenario are also analyzed. The primary objective of these analyses is to determine the local amenities and services which would logically be most impacted without OCS Lease Sale No. 70 and, in the case of Unalaska, additional impacts which could be expected under conditions of offshore oil and gas development.
