VIII. ENERGY AND MINERAL
RESOURCES
- The project is not energy
consumptive. Minor amounts of fuel would be required for
construction. A minor amount of electricity would be
required for site lighting. The project would have no
conflict with adopted energy conservation plans and no
impact would occur. The project would have the beneficial
impact of improving the reliability of electric power
service.
- 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 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.
- 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.
