Reuse and the Benefit to Community South Point Site Technical Appendix Positive Impacts: Employment Information for On-site Jobs Each on-site business was researched in the Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), database where number of employees, and sales volume information was gathered. D &B is a company that provides information on businesses and corporations. It maintains a database of over 179 million companies globally and over 53 million professional contact names using a variety of sources including public records, trade references, tele-communication providers, newspapers and publications, and telephone interviews among other various sources (www.dnb.com). In cases where data was not available in D&B, attempts were made to obtain the number of employees from Lawrence Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) or individual business owners. The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, is a unique nine-digit identification number assigned by Dun & Bradstreet to each business and its location within the D&B database for the purpose of identifying each business. For businesses not reporting to D&B, assumptions about the most appropriate NAICS code for those particular businesses were made. Positive Impacts: Wage and Income Information for On-site Jobs Wage and income information was gathered using the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. The BLS is a governmental statistical agency that collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates essential statistical data to the American public, the U.S. Congress, and other Federal agencies in the broad field of labor economics and statistics. The data provided by the BLS has high standards of accuracy and consistently high statistical quality, and impartiality in both subject matter and presentation. Average weekly wage data for each of the businesses located at the South Point Plant Site was collected from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages database. Average weekly wage data was identified by matching the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes corresponding with each type of business with weekly wage data for corresponding businesses in Lawrence County, if not available at the county level, the wage information was sought by State or National level, respectively. In cases where wage data is not available for the six digit NAICS code, higher level (less detailed) NAICs codes are used to obtain the wage data. To determine the annual wages (mean annual) earned from jobs generated by each of the business located at the South Point Plant Site, the average weekly wage figure was multiplied by the number of weeks in a year (52) and by the number of jobs (employees) for each of the businesses. ------- Table 1: South Point Site Businesses: NAICS Code and Title, Average Weekly Wage, Employees, Annual Wages and Total Annual Wage per Employee On-site Business NAICS Code3 NAICS Title Employees'3 Average Weekly Wage (2010)c Annual Wage (Mean Annual) per Employee Total Annual Wagesd Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. 423840 Industrial Supplies Merchant Wholesalers 10 $983 $51,116 $511,160 Calgon Carbon Services (operated by RDI) NA NA 10f NA NA NA Chatham Steel 423510e Metal Service Centers and Offices 32f $1,093 $56,836 $1,818,752 Engines Inc. of Ohio 331511 Iron Foundries 115 $1,132 $58,864 $6,769,360 Lawrence Economic Development Corporation 813319 Other Social Advocacy Organization 10 $356 $18,512 $185,120 Emerson Network Power (Liebert Corporation) NA NA 75f NA NA NA M & M Mailing 541860 Direct Mail Advertising 17 $671 $34,892 $593,164 M & M Service Station Equipment Specialist, Inc./Mid- Valley Supply Division 423120 Motor Vehicle Supplies 14 $824 $42,848 $599,872 Mercier's Incorporated 423820 Farm and garden machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers 35 $892 $46,384 $1,623,440 Ohio University Training Center 611699e Miscellaneous schools and instruction NA NA NA NA Superior Marine Ways 336611 Ship building and Repairing 3 $747 $38,844 $116,532 a NAICS code provided in D&B unless otherwise noted. b Employee data is from D&B, except where otherwise indicated. c Average weekly wage per Employee is based upon BLS Average Weekly Wage data. d Total annual wage figures were derived by multiplying "Employees" by "Annual Wage (Mean Annual) per Employee." 0 NAICS code assumed. f Employee number obtained from Lawrence Economic Development Corporation.
