Changes to property values based on proximity to project site, using a hedonic pricing method.

Changes in economic costs resulting from carbon emissions associated with the project, measured using the social cost of carbon (a measure of the economic harm from greenhouse gas emissions emitted per ton of carbon equivalent).
