Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; comment letter no 19 ibsacre lbsacre Ib lb sacre which is less than baseline please evaluate cumulative impacts resulting from sustained colder temperatures and the annual one week shutdown of syar tunnel for maintenance RESPONSE 19.42 1942 please see the revised text and analysis in chapter 3 section 366 36.6 366 366in in the FSFEIS FS FEIS COMMENT 19.43 1943 36632.14 3663214 3663214 please evaluate whether there are additional impacts resulting from the annual shutdown of syar tunnel no information is given on how flows would be reduced in the rivers an immediate shutdown could strand invertebrates and fish thereby reducing the prey base and causing direct and indirect increased predation mortality of fish excessive stress caused by reduction in water levels flows prey base etc could impair reproductive success all impacts ie increased predation fishing pressure should be addressed in the DEIS RESPONSE 19.43 1943 please see the revised text in chapter 1 ly section 142.2 1422 1422 and the revised analysis in chapter 3 section 366 36.6 366 365 in the FSFEIS FS FEIS COMMENT 19.44 1944 36632.15 3663215 3663215 a reduced year class size every 7 to 10 years due to the shut down of syar tunnel is not expected to significantly affect trout standing crop however a lost year class may cause future losses or reductions in the trout standing crop when that year class would have reached reproductive age 3 to 4 years causing an accumulated impact with future low numbers of reproductive fish RESPONSE 19.44 1944 the thejoint joint lead agencies do not believe the reduced year class size of cutthroat trout would significantly affect the predicted fong long longterm term tenn trout standing crop please see chapter 3 section 3664.2 36642 36642 in the FSFEIS COMMENT 19.45 1945 366331 366331 3663.31 this section states that mitigation for water quality as identified in the diamond fork power system final environmental impact statement and final supplement to FEIS diamond fork system would remain in effect section 3363.4 33634 33634 in the water quality section states that no mitigation is required under the proposed action the fhe DEIS needs to be consistent throughout RESPONSE 19.45 1945 thank you for pointing out this discrepancy the water quality monitoring commitments have been added in chapter 3 section 3.20 320 COMMENT 19.46 1946 3664.2 36642 36642 please discuss whether there would be temperature impacts to the fishery resulting from the MCAPWDFT MCAPWDFF MCAPW DFT DFF alternative of SVP water from the diamond fork pipeline into the spanish fork river especially if released water originated below the thermocline in strawberry reservoir RESPONSE 19.46 1946 please see the revised analysis and text in chapter 3 section 36642.5 366425 366425 diamond fork system FSFEIS FS FEIS 486 4 86
