| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER 4 POSSIBLE mitigation OF HABITAT LOSS A ROCKY LITTORAL HABITAT ON THE FACE OF THE DIKE there will be a loss of habitat no matter where the proposed dikes are located the amount of habitat lost can be reduced by altering dike design rocky habitat is probably the limiting habitat type in utah lake since it is so important to various life stages of several species of fish is inhabited by important food organisms and accounts for less than one percent of the total habitat in the lake rocky habitat can be provided on the face of the proposed dike amount depending upon slope of the face and the facing material selected table 4a aa 1 gives areas of habitat that could be provided on the faces of each alternative dike with various face slopes the proposed slope of the goshen bay dikes is 21 figure 17 1 7 the provo bay dike has a proposed slope of 71 figure 14 1 4 area of rocky habitat that could be provided on the face of the goshen bay dike alternatives figure 16 1 6 was calculated for the 21 slope plus 71 and 101 slopes only a 71 slope was used for the provo bay dike and it was estimated for this report that only 1.5 15 15 miles of dike face would be viable habitat due to sedimentation and marsh vegetation values in table 4a aa 1 are total surface areas rather than actual habitat available after an equilibrium is reached between the new dikes and lake currents and sedimentation actual values of available clean rocky habitat areas could be considerable less than those given area of habitat increases inversely with slope significantly more habitat at 101 slope than at 71 and more at 71 than at 21 the dike face should be sloped as close as practical to that of lincoln beach without having to expand the width of the basal pads the dike is supposed to sit on with a slope of 101 the DPR dike face would replace 24.4 244 ha of rocky habitat with the water level at compromise a significant amount 4 1 |
