| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; the existing operation plan for the proposed power system would create an undesirable condition for stream stability and safe utilization of 5 miles of diamond fork by fishermen and other recreationists the most serious of these two problems would be the safety hazard for humans particularly small children the safety problem would be acute because of the close proximity of three forest service campgrounds that receive heavy use under the proposed unit plan it would not be possible to create conditions suitable for development of quality fishery the high hien hlen rapidly fluctuating unit flows would damage fish habitat and deteriorate the stream banks the possibility of reducing the magnitude of the flow is being investigated and is discussed in detail in section H 3 spanish fork river about 18 to 30 cfs cs of water would be released from hayes reservoir during the winter months to provide a 75 cfs cs minimum flow in the river below its confluence with diamond fork under the existing flow regime critical winter flows periodically reached a level below 50 cfs cs the increased flow would improve overwintering wintering over conditions for fish 4 cumulative effects of streamflows Stream flows chae chaj chan ge s in making the final assessment of the total impact that the bonneville unit would have on fish habitat in utah several important factors must be considered a stream fish habitat studies indicate that a substantial amount of the total flow of many streams can be removed without severely reducing the capacity of the stream to 106 107 109 produce fish it is the timing g of the flow reduction that is most critical particularly for mountain streams 109 log maintaining adequate winter and late irrigation season flows is of utmost importance for streams which would be be affected by the bonneville unit 342 |
