<br />.~ <br /> <br />000712 <br /> <br />According to Nehring (1998). critical time periods for brown trout spawning. incubation and <br />hatching are October 15th through May 15th. Rainbow and brown trout spawning habitat is <br />located downstream of Crystal Reservoir. <br /> <br />Reservoir Elevation Frequency (in days) Year(s) <br />7.102 2 1973 <br />7,104 I 1973 <br />7,105 I 1973 <br />7.108 I 1973 <br />7,110 1 1973 <br />7.113 I \973 <br />7.116 I 1973 <br />7.117 I 1973 <br />7.121 I 1973 <br />7.123 1 1973 <br />7.126 1 1973 <br />7.131 I 1973 <br />7.133 I 1973 <br />7.136 I I 1973 <br />7.137 I 1973 <br />7.138 1 1973 <br />7.139 I 1973 <br />7.141 3 1973. 1996 <br />7,142 ') 1996 <br />7.143 4 1995. 1996 <br />7,144 45 1973. 1975. <br /> [995-200 I <br /> <br />Table 1- Reservoir Elevation Frequency (7,102-7,144 ft.) <br /> <br />Brown and rainbow trout may be affected by the proposed action if signiticant sediments are <br />transportcd and deposited in key spawning areas downstream of Crystal Reservoir during critical <br />time periods, This could result in eggs laid in redds (ncsts) being covered with tine silts and <br />deprive the eggs of oxygen. Large amounts of transported sediments could greatly reduce <br />rainbow and brown trout recruitment. <br /> <br />\4 <br />
