The purpose of the study is threefold: (1) to update earlier baseline descriptions of Anchorage region; (2) to revise the community impact-assessment methodology to be applied to the Anchorage region; and (3) to assess the community impacts on the Anchorage region through the year 2010 of a base-case growth forecast and of a scenario for production of 3.0 billion barrels of crude oil from the Diapir Field OCS Sale no.87. Some results of the study are that the Anchorage region, historically and currently, has demonstrated a very resilient capacity to accommodate rapid economic and population growth; and that State expenditure of petroleum revenues accounts for much of the region's recent growth.
