Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; CHAPTER IV consultation AN ANL anc coordination RESPONSE RZSPCMSZ 94 reclamation acknowledges that the deer creek lands proposed for use as wildlife mitigation were acquired as part of the provo river project if reclamation concludes that these lands cannot be used for mitigation purposes under the bonneville unit unity then other lands will be considered as needed to accomplish the wildlife mitigation objective letter from utah chapter sierra club dated june 29 1989 WRITTEN WRITTZN COMMENT CONMT 95 it is illogical for the bureau of reclamation to prepare this draft supplement to the final environmental impact statement because the project has been so radically changed that the FEIS no longer described the project being constructed further it appears to be illegal to proceed with construction as the BOR is now doing with portions of the diamond fork system that system has undergone major changes and is yet to be finalized RESPONSE RZSPOUSZ 95 please refer to written comment 56 58 WRITTEN WRITTZN CONNENT 96 A glaring deficiency of the draft supplement is the absence of any mention of the sevier river basin and of the plan to deliver water to that area it should be recalled that in the hearing of september 1972 on the final environmental statement busses of high school students were brought from delta large signs on the sides of the busses said people are more important than fish despite such display of local enthusiasm there is little indication that farmers from that area will subscribe to purchase project water RESPONSE RZSPCMSZ 96 impacts of the bonneville unit on the sevier river basin will be covered under the environmental statement for the lad led system WRITTEN WRITTZN cohe COIe coiefent fENT 97 there is no evidence in the subject draft supplemental to support the claim this is a compliance document for section 404 permits under the clean water act public law 95217 95 217 or that it complies itcomplies with executive order 11988 floodplains Flood plains manage management ment or with executive order 11900 protection of wetlands nowhere in the document are these matters addressed merely making claims of compliance does not establish compliance RESPONSE RZSPCMSZ 97 the corps of engineers comments on the draft supplement dated july 20 1989 seem to agree that the 404b1 analysis as required by the clean water act was appropriate in response to the allegation that there is no evidence that we have complied with executive orders 11988 and 11900 the impacts of the alternative presented in the draft supplement are not significantly different from the 1984 final environmental statement we have identified a different organization of 163 T
