This potential decrease in recreational <br /> activities would eventually occur whether or not the <br /> QSA water transfers were implemented since <br /> salinity levels of the Sea would increase <br /> independently of implementation of the fA and <br /> QSA. The lands of the Torres Martinez Reservation, <br /> some of which underlie the existing Sea, would be <br /> impacted, since their lands would be exposed sooner <br /> and to a greater extent than under No Action. If this <br /> land were found to be suitable for agriculture or <br /> other purposes, such as recreational uses, it could be <br /> developed by the Torres Martinez Indians. <br />Inadvertent Overrun Policy <br />Potential changes to land use patterns from None. .
