<br />· fIDOOBa~l1. <br /> <br />Facil iti es will be developed to enhance; fi sh and wi 1 dli fe potenti al at <br />Jackson Lake Reservoir and below Narrows Dam. A fish hatchery at <br />Narrows Reservoir has also been proposed to enhance the reservoir <br />fi shery. <br /> <br />Fish and wildlife evaluations provide fpr mitigation of losses associ- <br />ated with construction of the unit. It has been determined that approx- <br />imately 27,820 acres of lands would be 'provided for fish and wildlife <br />management and that wou1 d mi tigate 70, percent of the losses. There <br />would be 7,170 acres purchased specifically for this purpose and about, <br />20,650 acres of other lands acquired for: project purposes would also be <br />made available for wildlife management p~rposes. <br /> <br />If flood control is eliminated from the plan, it is estimated that there <br />wou1 d be a reduction of 14,000 acres acquired for project purposes. <br />This would result in a reduction of the amount of land available for <br />mitigation purposes by at least 50 percent. Therefore, the unmitigated <br />losses wou1 d be substanti ally increased' under the p1 an without flood <br />control. <br /> <br />Total expenditures for mitigation are a~ticiPated to be $10.1 million <br />with an addi ti ona1 $2.6 mi 11 i on to be speht for enhancement. <br /> <br />Costs for recreation facilities are estimated to be $9 million. <br /> <br />A reevalution by Federal, State, and 10~a1 interests could modify the <br />extent of the mitigation requirements and!enhancement values. <br /> <br />6 <br />
