| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; the new floodplain flood plain would be subject to flooding once every 2 years and once every 5 years with velocities capable of scouring surface soils these conditions are necessary for natural regeneration of cottonwood trees and other riparian vegetation allows the river to flood onto the expanded floodplain flood plain and to alter its course the river channel may widen or move across the floodplain flood plain in response to natural forces similarly to how it functioned before channelization revegetates Re vegetates disturbed areas along the new floodplain flood plain with indigenous plants constructs side channels and ponds on both sides of the new river alignment these would create diverse habitat conditions for spawning and rearing of fishes especially non game fishes and other aquatic or amphibious species see map al AI located in the map pocket at the back of the FEIS for the location of the major physical features of the proposed action s232 S 232 23.2 232 existing channel modification alternative reconstructs within the present channel alignment a step pool or rapid pool system that is the channel would be comprised of a series of alternating steps nearly vertical drops in the channel bottom and pools stabilizes the existing river channel by making channel modifications with multiple rock weirs and large boulders revegetates Re vegetates disturbed areas along the existing channel with indigenous plants see map A 2 located in the map pocket at the back of the FEIS for the location of the major physical features of the existing channel modification alternative s233 instream In stream structures alternative installs instream in stream fish habitat structures at selected locations along the provo river between jordanelle Jor danelle dam and deer creek reservoir making no significant changes to the existing river channel shape or elevation s234 no action alternative the no action alternative would not make any changes to the provo river channel its riparian corridor or its fish and wildlife habitats s24 baseline mitigation requirements even if the no action alternative is not selected there will still be mitigation activity along the middle provo river as the result of prior commitments these activities include the following measures 0 providing seven new recreation access points along the provo river between jordanelle Jor danelle dam and deer creek reservoir including parking and restroom facilities 0 providing pedestrian access for fishing and related or compatible uses along the provo river between jordanelle Jor danelle dam and deer creek reservoir 0 fencing of the public access corridor to control trespass problems 0 managing the acquired corridor and constructed access facilities through a management agreement with a state or local entity 0 maintaining a minimum instream instrearn in stream flow of 125 cfs cs in the provo river below jordanelle Jor danelle dam these commitments constitute the baseline conditions for many resources that would be impacted by the proposed action and alternatives note also that if the no action alternative is selected the mitigation commission is still required to develop and implement measures to meet the project need to which the proposed action and other alternatives respond see chapter 1 section 12.1 121 121 for a description of the project need and section 1.4 14 14 for a detailed description of the baseline S 3 |
