| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; both reservoirs would provide opportunities for water related recreation fisheries would be maintained in these reservoirs the stabilized upstream reservoirs would be maintained as lakes thereby providing better fisheries and more potential for recreational use the stabilization of the reservoirs would also improve the esthetic appeal of the high mountain setting in which these reservoirs are found the two reservoirs to be constructed would provide some esthetic attraction before drawdown occurs after drawdown this attraction would be diminished the reservoirs would inundate approximately 1100 acres of land all of which is wildlife habitat about 3 miles of uinta river and 2 miles of whiterocks river would be in undatedo undated unda tedo both streams support a class 111 III ili fishery through the reservoir areas 73 the two reservoir basins support stands of timber which would be cut and processed the forest service estimates there would be approximately 537000 board feet in the whiterocks reservoir basin although the actual number of board feet in the uinta reservoir basin is not available it would be similar to the amount in whiterocks approximately 6.5 65 65 miles of roads would be constructed around the reservoirs to replace those inundated using the ratio of 10 acres per mile of roadway 88 about 65 acres of land would be required for these roads landscape scars would result where the roads traverse steep slopes around the reservoirs approximately 3 miles of transmission line would be constructed struc ted up whiterocks canyon to the dam the line would have a negative impact on the esthetics of the canyon the two laterals literals late rals would traverse side hills and gently sloping lands the construction using the ratio of 2 acres per mile of lateral would require about 12 acres of land the laterals literals late rals would traverse areas vegetated mainly with juniper native grass and sage brush there should be no scars associated with construction which cannot be revege levege tated bated these laterals literals late rals would be earthlined earth lined provisions would be made to provide water to the merimon ditch part of which would be inundated by the whiterocks reservoir streamflows Stream flows would be reduced below the dams and there would be a corresponding decrease in aquatic habitat A recent survey by the utah division of wildlife resources73 resources 73 indicates that to maintain the present classification of fishery in uinta river flows should not be reduced beyond 422 |
