he magnitude and schedule of each shift relative to the baseline traffic for the key affected DG-4026, Page 89 roads for all operations workers, as well as congestion and accident-related consequences from outage workers. Recreation Recreation impacts are the changes in recreational experience caused by operations-related changes to the viewshed, local environment, or quality/quantity of access to recreation venues. The applicant should base its recreation impact determinations on the local recreational venues, capacity, occupancy rate, and seasonal characteristics provided in Chapter 2 of this RG. The analysis should include, but not be limited to, the following information: • Aesthetic changes (e.g., impaired views and visible emissions) as discussed under physical impacts that reduce the attractiveness of and enjoyment of recreational venues. • Dust, plumes or any other degradations to visibility that could reduce the attractiveness of recreational venues. • Potential noise impacts directly attributable to operational activities to nearby recreational venues. • Demographic changes resulting from the in-migrating operations workforce that could cause additional competition for access to recreational venues and the impact that such increased demand could produce. Housing The applicant should describe the expected impacts on local housing resources attributable to the operations workforce over the 40-year life of the proposed project. Sufficient tables and/or figures to support the analysis should accompany all discussion. The housing assessment should include the following: • The expected number of in-migrating workforce members. • The underlying assumptions, including: – family size – operations worker residential distribution – assumptions related to housing choice (e.g., rental housing, purchase of existing homes versus new construction). • The location of expected housing resources by type in the context of the total housing resource for
