| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; comment letter no 22 t regeneration of cottonwood trees is lacking and the riparian ecosystem can be expected to decline in quality unless measures are taken to restore this resource the proposed action 22.13 2213 alternative offers a unique opportunity to enhance this habitat type which is extremely cont valuable to fish and wildlife and dwindling in supply on the regional and national level we believe more elaboration on this benefit should be incorporated in the document 3563.1 35631 3 A paraphrased EC that appears here and in 35631.1 356311 3 is as follows 22.14 2214 0 access to construction areas by resident fish shall be reduced to the extent feasible and stranded fish will be salvaged and moved to appropriate locations salvage and relocation efforts will require coordination with the UDWR table 317 3 17 page 336 3 36 we believe that there should be a footnote on the columns for the 22.15 2215 proposed action to remind the reader that the biomass and standing crop information does not include trout that will occupy side channels 35632.2 356322 356322 several ECs from the WCWEP DEIS concerning the leatherside chub that appear appropriate are as follows 0 A survey would be conducted prior to construction activities to identify leatherside chub population centers and learn more about the status of the 22.16 2216 species 0 areas outside the impact area of influence that contain populations of leatherside chub that would benefit from habitat improvements would be enhanced and protected in accordance with an agreement to be developed with the service and UDWR 35633.1 356331 this section fails to acknowledge that there will be temporary but possibly significant impacts to the spotted frog the draft threatened and endangered species technical report for PRRP table 42 4 2 identifies that the proposed action may effect spotted frog spotted frog are known to be present within reaches seven eight and nine of the provo river and these populations could be temporarily disturbed the technical report identifies that construction activities near or within occupied sites would result in altered 22.17 2217 hydrology increased sedimentation loss of protective bank vegetation alter the water temperature and food composition draining of water causing desiccation or freezing of egg masses or tadpoles and reduced water quality there would be a permanent loss of 55.2 552 552 acres and temporary loss of 22.2 222 222 acres of potentially occupied wetmoist wet moist meadows and emergent marsh habitat the resulting effects would include a loss of breeding habitat harm or mortality of individuals and reduced reproductive success caused by displacement of breeding adults and mortality while the longterm long term effects are potentially beneficial the temporary impacts could be significant because this heber valley population of spotted frogs is already fragmented and its viability is in question 12 page 12 of 22 4182 4 182 |
