VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES

1. The project is not energy consumptive. Minor amounts of fuel would be required for construction. The project would have no conflict with energy conservation policies and no impact would occur.

2. The project would use a variety of widely available non-renewable materials for construction of the facilities, including aggregate, asphalt, iron and related minerals used in manufacturing steel, mineral oil, and fuel to power construction vehicles and equipment. Long-term operation would require only a minor amount of fuel for site inspection vehicles. Proposed construction and operation of the facility would not involve the wasteful use of non-renewable resources; no impact would occur.

3. The site has no known mineral, oil, gas, geothermal, or aggregate resources. The project would not affect the availability of these resources; no impact would occur.
