This report describes a technical framework under development for projecting changes in major socio-economic parameters as a consequence of energy development. The parameters forecasted by the CASE-I framework include annual changes in the base or natural population of the area by age, sex, and race; employment due to energy development; natural population and employment due to energy development; the migration of new households to (and from) the various jurisdictions within the impact area; and public service needs within the jurisdictions of the impact area. These projects can be provided by county for any of the 3188 counties in the continental United States, and within each county, for the impacts of eight different energy technologies, including: strip and in-situ mining facilities; offshore oil and gas facilities; nuclear power facilities; coal-fired electric generating facilities; oil shale conversion facilities; coal gasification facilities; and geothermal facilities. This framework, though computerized, is not referred to as a model since it is a collection of interdependent modules which permit (and even require) extensive user interaction. Its purpose is to permit users to evaluate, with relative ease, the timing and magnitude of socio-economic changes expected from energy development. As such, CASE-I should prove to be of significant value to local officials in areas expecting some form of energy activity.
