| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; B THE EFFECT OF DIKING ON HABITAT availability the primary impact of diking any portion of utah lake is the elimination of substrates behind the dike from the lake with the concomitant loss of habitat for plant and animal species the effect of these habitat losses will be discussed in relation to the biota phytoplankton zooplankton and benthos in the following section of this report the data in table 3b ab 1 compiled from tables 1 4 phase I 1 report 35 1981 summarizes habitat loss in utah lake associated with the proposed diking alternatives for comparison with descriptions of substrate types found in phase I 1 reports the following designations are used hardpan in this report comprises bare hardpan hardpan and rubble and hardpan and gravel substrate rubble comprises the large and small rubble and gravel sand clay comprises sand and clay designations in the phase I 1 reports and marsh designates the marsh and emergent vegetation in the phase I 1 reports GENERAL STATEMENT ON PROJECTED HABITAT CHANGES construction of provo bay dike A dike constructed across the mouth of provo bay will result in the loss of 70 percent of the total existing marsh habitat in utah lake at lake compromise level table 3b ab 1 other habitat types would remain the same or only slightly reduced for example ooze habitat would be reduced by only three percent if provo bay following diking was developed as improved marsh habitat the actual marsh area could increase although it would be unavailable to the fisheries of the lake construction of goshen bay dike the diking of goshen bay will result in significant reductions of available hardpan and rubble habitats with the proposed goshen bay DPR site 52 percent of the hardpan habitat and 66 percent of the rubble habitat will be lost table 3b ab 1 3 27 |
