Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER IV consultation AND coordination reclamation disagrees with the comment that no further funding be expended our position remains that the clear intent of the language providing for a programmatic ES followed by separate NEPA compliance on each system is to allow continued construction of early systems while final details for subsequent systems are being developed INRITTZK COMMENT CONMEM 61 of the three alternatives presented NWF finds that alternative C is the least environmentally damaging and is probably more cost effective that sic A or B we strongly believe however that other alternatives and certain variations on alternative C must be explored these alternatives are likely to be better from and sic environmental perspective and significantly more cost effective RZSPWSZ 61 reclamation evaluation of the proposed alternatives has resulted in alternative B as our preferred alternative for the final supplement we believe it provides a significant balance in meeting overall project objectives MRZTTKN WITTZN CONWRT cammi commi 62 the bureau should identify the cost allocation and the relative cost effectiveness for fishery mitigation and enhancement for alternatives presented RRSPCNSZ BKPOHSB 62 A discussion of cost allocations is beyond the scope of NEPA documents the diamond fork pipeline was included as a major fishery enhancement feature in the plan in the 1984 FES this feature was included in the plan as a result of recommendations and coordination with cooperating resource agencies under the authority of the fish and wildlife coordination act WRITTRU NRITTXN CONMZNT T 63 alternative A should be eliminated from further consideration RXSPONSK PJMCKSZ 63 in the final supplement reclamation has identified alternative B as its recommended plan alternative B fully meets the goal of the stream flow agreement MRITTKN WRITTRU COMMENT CONUM 64 the diamond fork conveyance facilities are generally gend rally raily oversized for each alternative considered the bureau should evaluate the incremental benefits and costs of reducing the size and capacity of the diamond fork system facilities MBSPONSK RZSPCNSZ 64 from a practical standpoint the physical dimension of tunnel construction equipment sets the minimum facility size in addition the sizes required are primarily based upon the peak capacities and hydraulic grade line considerations necessary for meeting demand deliveries rather than annual volumes the comparison to annual deliveries is not a valid one we also point out that the environmental impacts of pipes and tunnels are very insensitive to small changes in diameter since the FSFES FSFESI 152
