(C) related activities undertaken;
(D) benefits to the local
				  community;
(E) other funding
				  sources investigated or secured for the project; and
(F) anticipated effects of the project on
				  geothermal energy development in the area; and
(G) the products that will result from the
				  project.
(4) a detailed
				  work statement listing and describing the tasks to be undertaken and all
				  documents and products that will be submitted to the Energy
				  Commission.
(5) a schedule showing
				  personnel requirements and a timeline for completing the project
				  tasks.
(6) a detailed description
				  of the purpose for and benefits of each product.
(7) for local jurisdiction applicants: a
				  resolution from the local jurisdiction's governing body authorizing submittal
				  of the application.
