Exhibit 27 shall contain:
(a) An estimate of the average construction
				  work force, by discipline, for each quarter, during the period of construction;
				  and an estimate of the peak construction employment level.
(b) An estimate of the annual construction
				  payroll, by trade, for each year of construction and an estimate of annual
				  direct non-payroll expenditures likely to be made in the vicinity of the
				  facility (materials, services, rentals, and similar categories) during the
				  period of construction.
(c) An
				  estimate of the annual secondary employment and economic activity likely to be
				  generated in the vicinity of the facility by the construction of the plant.
				  This analysis shall state the basis of any economic multiplier factor or other
				  assumption used.
(d) An estimate of
				  the number of jobs and the on-site payroll, by discipline, during a typical
				  year once the plant is in operation, and an estimate of other expenditures
				  likely to be made in the vicinity of the facility during a typical year of
				  operation.
(e) An estimate of the
				  annual secondary employment and economic activity likely to be generated in the
				  vicinity of the facility by its operation.
(f) An estimate of incremental school
				  district operating and infrastructure costs due to the construction and
				  operation of the facility, this estimate to be made after consultation with the
				  affected school districts.
(g) An
				  estimate of incremental municipal, public authority, or utility operating and
				  infrastructure costs that will be incurred for police, fire, emergency, water,
				  sewer, solid waste disposal, highway maintenance and other municipal, public
				  authority, or utility services during the construction and operation phases of
				  the facility (this estimate to be made after consultation with the affected
				  municipalities, public authorities, and utilities).
(h) An identification of all jurisdictions
				  (including benefit assessment districts and user fee jurisdictions) that levy
				  real property taxes or benefit assessments or user fees upon the facility site,
				  its improvements and appurtenances and any entity from which payments in lieu
				  of taxes will or may be negotiated.
(i) For each jurisdiction, an estimate of the
				  incremental amount of annual taxes (and payments in lieu of taxes, benefit
				  charges and user charges) it is projected would be levied against the
				  post-construction facility site, its improvements and appurtenances.
(j) For each jurisdiction, a comparison of
				  the fiscal costs to the jurisdiction that are expected to result from the
				  construction and operation of the facility to the expected tax revenues (and
				  payments in lieu of taxes, benefit charge revenues and user charge revenues)
				  generated by the facility.
(k) An
				  analysis of whether all contingency plans to be implemented in response to the
				  occurrence of a fire emergency or a hazardous substance incident can be
				  fulfilled by existing local emergency response capacity, and in that regard
				  identifying any specific equipment or training deficiencies in local emergency
				  response capacity (this analysis to be made after consultation with the
				  affected local emergency response organizations).
(l) A detailed statement indicating how the
				  proposed facility and interconnections are consistent with each of the State
				  smart growth public infrastructure criteria specified in ECL 6-0107, or why
				  compliance would be impracticable.
