| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; benefits see high mountain lake stabilization and stream flow benefits above substantial benefits to aquatic resources will accrue as a result of these project features upstream and downstream fish passage will be provided at the big sand wash feeder diversion structure the enlarged big sand wash reservoir will provide more habitat for sport fish wetland and riparian resources impacts shoreline wetland habitats may be temporarily lost as high mountain lakes are stabilized at lower levels changes in hydrology in the lake fork river although variable in magnitude may displace or cause changes in amount type and location of wetland and riparian areas this is especially true in the lower lake fork river where the changes in hydrology will be greatest and most consistent the enlargement of big sand wash reservoir will result in the loss of 31 ac of wetlands comprising 7 ac of emergent wetlands 4 ac of wet meadow and 20 ac of shrub wetlands despite best efforts to avoid them there may be some temporary and permanent riparian and wetland habitat impacts from construction of the big sand wash feeder diversion structure the big sand wash feeder and the big sand wash roosevelt pipelines and associated permanent and temporary access roads and staging areas benefits see high mountain lake stabilization and stream flow benefits above substantial benefits to riparian and wetland habitats are expected to accrue as a result of these project features appropriate placement design and implementation of the proposed 50 ac mitigation area could result in more sustained manageable and contiguous wetland and riparian habitats than what will be impacted by this project bli bil B 1 11 I 1 |
