Energy Plant Sites: : Community Planning for Large Projects (Industrial Development Site Selection Handbook)
(There is a trend toward construction of larger and more e...)
There is a trend toward construction of larger and more efficient energy production facilities, such as electric power plants, plus the location of multiple units on single sites. This development has produced a need for project site areas to be aware of the socioeconomic impacts energy facility construction can create. Identifying and mitigating the effects of a rapid growth due to energy facility construction has not worked out well for many local communi-ties. Their lack of experience, cooperation from the energy developers and guidelines for plan-ning in rapid growth situations are but a few of the reasons. Energy development projects sometimes create social and economic (socioeconomic) changes where they are built and later operated. These changes or impacts can be beneficial. Area residents find increased employment opportunities, reduced unemployment, ex-panded retail sales and substantial growth of their tax revenues due to the property taxes paid by the plant. On the other hand, a project can sometimes create problems, particularly during its long construction period. For instance, constructing a two-unit 2,000-megawatt nuclear electric power plant can take as long as 10 to 12 years from start to finish. There may be as many as 3,500 construction workers on tile site during periods of peak labor activity, which occurs sometime between the fourth and fifth year of construction. Knowledge of all reasonably anticipated socioeconomic impacts is a worthwhile objective for three reasons. First, it allows the local citizenry a chance to satisfy their “need to know.” Second, planning programs can be set in motion long before the influx of workers and their dependents. Third, the costs of adverse effects on local living and working conditions can be translated into dollars more easily. A community with knowledge of an energy project’s planning cycle and the impacts likely to occur each step of the way is in a better position to seek fiscal assistance from project manage-ment or from some other sources. It is believed that with the information provided in this book, local people, such as city officials, planners and private citizens, can play a major role in developing plans to minimize adverse socioeconomic impacts. Through a well-structured and open-planning approach based on the traditional planning process model which is described in this book, people can identify specific socioeconomic changes, translate change into net fiscal costs, develop mitigating measures, carry out the implementation plans, monitor the program and make necessary adjustments as appropriate. In addition to guidelines describing the energy impact planning process, other information of use to the energy planner is provided. This includes information on the nature of socioeconomic impacts, the energy facility site selection procedures, private sector impact mitigation involvement, impact planning theories and designing a planning pathway for energy impact management. In describing the impact planning pathway, an electric power generating plant is used as the energy project in question. In the case study, the electric power plant’s planning and construction cycle is outlined, the socioeconomic changes that sometimes occur during construction are identified, and the reasons these changes vary in intensity between different energy construction projects is discussed.
