| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; consultation AND coordination continued proposed reservoirs from strawberry reservoir is apparently for the worst case condition described in the DES this worst case condition is when waters below the thermocline are released from strawberry reservoir and contain relatively high nutrient phosphorus levels and low dis solved oxygen levels this water and the water in the proposed project reservoirs would be no worse than the bottom releases of water from other reservoirs in the state such as deer creek reservoir northeast of provo if any dissolved oxygen problems develop in the diamond fork system they would exist for only a short time even under the worst case conditions because no major water quality problems are expected under project condi tions eions no specific plans for mitigation have been developed the best approach appears to be to monitor the system during operation and address any significant problems when and if they occur because of rapid aer atlon impacts to streams are expected to be minimal but baffles or mixers could be added if necessary stream temperature problems are not expected to occur but multiple outlets could be added if necessary reclamation does not believe construction of the proposed syar sixth water and monks hollow reservoirs needs to be contingent upon the development and implementation of a water quality and lake management plan A watershed management plan is presently being developed for strawberry reservoir which would be the source of water for the power system the watershed for the proposed reservoirs is relatively very small and entirely within the uinta national forest activity within the watershed is limited to recreation cattle grazing and associated access the forest service has watershed plans to protect water quality and control erosion it is expected that the project reservoirs would meet applicable state water quality standards equally as well as other reservoirs in the state and that the project waters released would meet the requirements of the designated or intended uses of the water 32 comment we believe that the EIS should address the potential impacts associated with vectorborne vector borne disease or nuisance problems in the area the design and construction of this project system must not allow any increase to occur in local vector populations which have the potential to cause vec torborne corborne tor borne disease or nuisance problems we suggest that the local and state health department be contacted for a history of the vectorborne vector borne disease and nuisance problems in the area and the steps necessary to mitigate and prevent the occurrence of any potential health problems general health guidelines have been developed for controlling and pre venting vector problems in conveyance and distribution systems impound ments and recreational areas these guidelines and our publication mosquitoes of public health importance and their control 1977 are available upon request 248 |
