Related environmental studies for the High Plains Region were conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), under the leadership of Arthur Kinsky of the FWS Albuquerque Regional Office. Separate asSessments by the FWS were prepared for the General Contractor--"potential Effects of the Alternative Water Management Strategies on Fish and Wildlife Resources", dated November 1981--and for the U.S. Army Corps of En9ineers in a series of reports on the alternative water transfer routes being assessed by the Corps* . The Corps' own environmental assessment of the four alternative water transfer options investigated, with appropriate reference to the respective FWS reports, are contained in the Corps' Report "Water Transfer Elements of the Hi gh Pl ai ns-Oga 11 al a Aquifer Regi ona 1 Resources Study", draft report dated January 1982. Separate envi ronmenta 1 and soci oeconomi c assessment studi es were con- ducted by each of the six study states as part of the state level "A" - series of reports. In addition, a large number of local, state and federal agencies and organizations were contacted for supportive information and assistance durin9 the B-4 regional assessment. A partial list of such sources follow: * Planning Aid Reports on the High Plains-Ogallala Aquifer Regional Study for: 1. The States of Texas and Oklahoma and portions of Arkansas and Louisiana. 2. The State of Nebraska and portions of South Dakota and Colorado. 3. The State of Kansas. All dated September 1981. iii
