Executive Summary
The Systems Development Report is the third step in the Clark County Socioeconomic
Impact Assessment of the Proposed High-Level Nuclear Waste Repository at Yucca
Mountain, Nevada. The purpose of this report is to describe operationalization of
variables and systems under development for monitoring changes in the socioeconomic
conditions existing in Clark County as reported in the Base Case Analysis. The analytic
areas for which monitoring systems are being developed include economic-
demographic/fiscal characteristics, emergency planning and management variables,
transportation characteristics, and social and risk related factors.
The economic-demographic/fiscal characteristics which are incorporated into the Systems
Development Report include: the characteristics of the local economy; the distribution
and characteristics of local population; residential and non-residential land use
characteristics; government service and facility systems; and government finances.
Because these areas are comprised of variables which are commonly used by local
governments, the maintenance of a monitoring system is anticipated to be relatively
straightforward and applicable to any number of proposed projects in Clark County.
The emergency planning and management section of this report expands upon the Final
Base Case Analysis--Emergency Management Section Update: Systems Development
Report Data Supplement. It describes data organization and analytic applications
development but does not contain the data themselves. The data used for the
development of monitoring systems for emergency planning and management are designed
to be of optimal utility for planning purposes. Ultimately, the system under development
will, for emergencies occurring at any location in the county, allow the user to determine
immediately what jurisdiction the accident is within, what and where the closest
emergency resources are, which whom the jurisdiction has mutual aid agreements, what
the communications capabilities of responding agencies are, how many people live within
any proposed evacuation area, and what medical facilities are nearby, among other
variables, to facilitate critical incident response, planning, management, and training.
The Systems Development Report for transportation modeling uses the indicators of
current transportation conditions in Clark County described in the Base Case Analysis
to design connecting tools and data bases for long term monitoring. This design is
structured by the input requirements for specific analytic tools such as TRANPLAN and
RADTRAN but it is also compatible with geographic information systems so that
integration of diverse data will be possible.
The social and risk related section of this report remains to be developed. As noted in
the text, this area of research is "out of phase" with other areas but, due to an
accelerated development schedule, will "catch up" to other areas within the near future.i
