Title: Socioeconomic data base report for Louisiana. [Vacherie Dome]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6002007

The Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Program is authorized to develop terminal waste storage facilities in deep, stable geologic formations for high-level nuclear wastes. Domed salt formations in the Gulf Interior Salt Dome Region are among areas under consideration for repository sites. Within this region, Vacherie Dome in northwestern Louisiana is being evaluated as a potential repository site. This document presents socioeconomic baseline data for an 11-parish area (50-mile radius) surrounding Vacherie Dome that potentially would be affected by repository development. Information presented provides part of the technical basis upon which socioeconomic impacts can be assessed and repository sites selected, evaluated, and licensed. Information contained in this data base report is based on published federal and state data and information obtained from Louisiana state agencies.
