The water supply needs, outdoor recreation demands, salinity intrusion conditions, flood control needs and both present and future electric power generating capacity are briefly described. An evaluation of the proposed Tocks Island Project and alternative programs includes a summary of direct costs and benefits, land use goals, primary and secondary local economic impacts, public infrastructure impacts, local social impacts etc. This summary review describes only significant points of the findings of the consultant.
