<br />301 :j <br /> <br />WOOill~u <br /> <br />Facil i ti es wi 11 be developed to enhance fi sh and wil dl ife 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 />fishery. <br /> <br />Fish and wildlife evaluations provide for mitigation of losses associ- <br />ated with construction of the unit. It has been determined that approx- <br />imate1y27,820 acres of lands would be provided for fish and wildlife <br />management and that woul d mitigate 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 wou1d a1so be <br />made available for wild1ife management purposes. <br /> <br />If flood control is eliminated from the plan, it is estimated that there <br />woul 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 unmitiaated <br />losses would be substantially increased under the plan without flood <br />,control. <br /> <br />Total expenditures for mi ti gation are anti ci pated to be $10,1 mill i on <br /> <br />with an additional $2.6 million to be spent for enhancement. <br /> <br />Costs for recreation facil ities are estimated to be $9 mill ion. . <br /> <br />A reevalution by Federal, State, and local interests cou1 d modify the <br />extent of the mitigation requirements and enhancement values. <br /> <br />6 <br />
