| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; this plan like the one previously described would reduce the flows in sixth water creek thus reducing erosion and allowing the stream fishery to return to its natural state farther downstream the 400 cfs cs daily surges from dyne powerplant Power plant down lower diamond fork that would be characteristic of the previous alternative would not occur because of reregulation by monks hollow reservoir and the conveyance of part of the releases in the diamond fork pipeline maximum flows released to diamond fork from monks hollow dam would be about 300 cfs cs be diverted into the pipeline and conveyed to the spanish fork river the reduced regulated flows along with the reduction of sediment would provide more stable habitat conditions in the lower 7 miles of diamond fork thereby improving the class 111 III lii trout fishery in this stream section this impact would offset the inundation of about 2.5 25 25 miles of class 111 III ili lii fishery by monks hollow reservoir the reservoir itself would not provide a good fishery because of its frequent and highly fluctuating water levels impacts on fisheries in sixth water creek and the spanish fork river and mitigation measures to reduce those impacts would be essentially the same as those discussed under the DPR alternative previously described construction and operation of the sixth water alterna aeterna tive would permanently eliminate approximately 510 acres of vegetation including 425 acres of native shrub habitat 50 acres of re seeded range and 35 acres of stream bottom riparian habitat additional acreage would be temporarily disturbed during placement of tunnel spoil borrowing activities and construction of aqueducts pipelines and power transmis transmits tran smis sion lines but the disturbed areas would be rehabilitated the loss and disturbance of habitat would adversely affect mule deer elk and other wildlife populations in the area inundation by monks hollow reservoir and associated road relocation would eliminate about 380 acres of mule deer winter range and would interfere with deer and elk migration routes some elk winter range as well as spring fall range for both elk and deer would also be lost appropriate measures such as land acquisition or habitat improvement would be taken to mitigate these habitat losses appropriate precautions would be required during construction and in management of the monks hollow reservoir area to minimize the disturbance construction of the monks hollow dam could temporarily disturb or cause the abandonment of a golden eagle nesting site cultural resource surveys in the diamond fork drainage area indicate that there is little likelihood that the sixth water alternative would cause a significant impact on any known cultural resources however prior to construction thorough cultural surveys would be conducted at project feature sites 3 fifth water alternative a plan of development this alternative as illustrated in figures H 3 and H 3a aa would also be based on the production of power through a H 22 |
