| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER 111 III lil lii AFFECTED environment AND environmental consequences reservoir fishery this would be accomplished by eradication of nongame fish in the reservoir and through management with different game fish species to control nongame fish be predation and by competition for the food supply although the values presented for fish standing crop and angler use do not precisely describe either existing or future biological conditions in the reservoir because of the unquantifiable effect of extreme water level fluctuations drawdowns draw downs and other physical and chemical parameters the data do represent the range in values anticipated furthermore the values are relative and thus provide an adequate base of comparison among all reservoir operations being considered the 1973 bonneville unit final environmental statement evaluated the changes in fishery production because of enlargement of the reservoir as planned in 1964 according to the FES the reservoir historically provided about 206700 angler days per year under the 1964 plan the average number of angler days was expected to be about 252500 each year however operation of the reservoir in conjunction with the diamond fork system as currently planned would be different than previously described this change in operation would in turn modify the productivity of the reservoir in order to provide a relative comparison of the changes the foregoing methods were used to estimate the angler use for the 1964 operations and alternative C of the diamond fork system under scenarios of both a treated table 35 and untreated table 36 reservoir these values are then related back to the future without the project condition the current use and minimum fishery goal on strawberry reservoir as stated previously is about 250000 angler days per year As shown in table 35 a treated strawberry reservoir would on the average be slightly reduced in surface acreage and angler use than previously proposed in the 1964 plan total angler use would average about 338200 days per year with alternative C about 5000 less than with the 1964 plan and about 37000 less than the future without condition however the fishery goal of maintaining a minimum of 250000 angler days per year would be more than met assuming the utah division of wildlife resources plans for reservoir renovation and management with different game species plus the forest services rehabilitation and stabilization of all major reservoir tributaries tributa ries are effective in controlling nongame fish populations and minimizing nutrient loadings in the reservoir angler use could be as high as 300000 days per year according to division of wildlife resources estimates of treatment benefits if the change in fishery management is not effective the angler use would decline rapidly 85 |
