Regionl Issue Identification and Assessment (RIIA): an environmental evaluation of the EIA Mid-Mid Scenario for Federal Region 8
This Regional Issue Identification and Assessment (RIIA) study evaluates the environmental impacts associated with future energy development in Federal Region 8 (Montana, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado). The impacts described are for 1985 and 1990 and are based on a national energy scenario that assumes medium energy demand and fuel supply through 1990, but does not incorporate the policies of the National Energy Act (NEA). The scenario, known as the Projection Series C or the Trendlong Mid-Mid Scenario, is one of six possible energy futures that have been produced by the Energy Information Administration of the Department of Energy for the Department's 1977 annual report to Congress. All of these possible energy futures are based on the assumption that electric power is generated in the federal region where it is used. This assumption has the effect of understating actual production levels and environmental impacts for each of the issues in the region. This report's Key Findings and Conclusions sections synopsize the study's results.
