This document provides a compilation of regional data relating to the energy, environmental, socioeconomic, and institutional characteristics of the Northwest. Its intended uses are to provide data for policy analysis and generic impact assessments; assist the labs in developing relevant data to be used in analyses and studies; provide a reference book that can be used by local groups and institutions; and identify the gaps in regional data bases so that the Department of Energy (DOE) may be better able to allocate resources for data and program development. The document is divided into four chapters. Chapter I includes current and historic data on energy supply, demand, and production; sector fuel demands, fuel consumption, transmission, and transportation; location of energy production and conversion; and energy prices by sector and state. Chapter II shows a variety of natural and preternatural characteristics including water quality and quantity; air quality and air quality control areas; natural and induced climatic conditions; waste disposal; land and coast conditions, use, and management; managed and endangered species; demographic and socioeconomic conditions; and health and mortality data. Included in Chapter III are a variety of organizational, legislative, and regulatory data. Chapter IV provides energy equivalents, metric conversions, an index, and a glossary.
