A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF THE TOCKS ISLAND LAKE PROJECT AND ALTERNATIVES. PART E. LAND USE AND SECONDARY EFFECTS OF TOCKS ISLAND LAKE PROJECT

The purpose of this study is to help decision makers determine future water resource needs of the Delaware River Basin area and ways of meeting these needs. This report undertaken in 1975 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by an independent consultant firm studies the effects of the proposed Tocks Island Lake, and Dam, pumped storage facilities, and Delaware Water Gap National Recreational area on the surrounding communities. These effects are reviewed in the following broad categories: economic impacts, land use effects, public service, utilities and solid waste disposal impacts, environmental impacts, and institutional considerations. Recreation-oriented highway travel and requirements by the major highway network in the study area are also evaluated. (Author)
