<br />000630 <br /> <br />PLACEHOLDERS <br /> <br />67 STEAMBOAT LAKE WATER LEASE TBD <br />This project is pending the outcome of the Yampa River Management Plan, Steamboat <br />Lake is one of several potential sources of water to augment late summer nows in the <br />Yampa River. The terms and cost of the lease must be renegotiated; but the Program <br />would pay only for the amount of water actually rele~sed for instre~m now augment~tion, <br /> <br />C-9 Y AMP A RIVER MANAGEMENT PLAN/PBO $3,281,000/ $3,885,000 <br />A placeholder of roughly $7M h~s been reserved for FY 2004-05 to implement a structural <br />augmentation w~ter supply alternative, if necessary, pending selection of a water supply <br />option through the Yampa River NEPA process. <br /> <br />1l4a TRIBUTARY WATER DEMAND TBD <br />Placeholder for one or inore depletion estimates for signific~nt tributaries found to lacking <br />adequate coverage under existing biological opinions, FY 2002 scope of work was not <br />implemented pending identification of affected tributaries. We anticipate that Colorado <br />(CWCB) and/or Utah (UDWR) would be responsible for this activity, <br /> <br />GEOMORPHIC RESEARCH/CHANNEL & SEDIMENT MONITORING <br />$378,000 / $378,000 <br />This placeholder represents one or more projects that may be recommended for <br />implementation in the Strategic Plan for Geomorphological Research and Monitoring. <br /> <br />Ongoing projects that may be considered for continuation once the strategic plan is <br />completed are: <br /> <br />85e UPPER COLORADO RIVER CHANNEL MONITORING <br />A placeholder of $19,000/FY has been reserved, pending the completion of the <br />geomorphological research strategic plan, This ongoing project would monitor the <br />embeddedness of gravel and cobble substrates in the upper Colorado River and <br />sample invertebrates to quantify the biological link between physical substrate <br />characteristics and food-base production. <br /> <br />85d GREEN RIVER DEPOSITION AND EROSION MONITORING <br />A placeholder of $20,OOO/FY has been reserved, pending the completion of the <br />geomorphological research strategic plan. This ongoing project involves time-series <br />monitoring of deposition and erosion at the Jensen razorback sucker spawning beu <br />on the Green River to quantify sediment dynamics and relate them to physical and <br />biological processes creating razorback sucker habitat. <br /> <br />85e GUNNISON RIVER DEPOSITION AND EROSION MONITORING <br />A placeholder of $44,000/FY has been reserved, pending the completion of the <br />geomorphological research strategic plan. This project would invol ve time-series <br />monitoring of deposition and erosion to quantify sediment dynamics to help <br />determine the timing and duration of t10ws needed to cre~te and maintain habitat for <br />endangered fish in the Gunnison River. <br /> <br />2004/2005 Program Gllidance, Section I - 3 <br />
