Is this ~ike a <br />Conservation Plan for incidental takings pursuant to 510 of the <br />ESA? Is this more like a Recovery Plan pursuant to 54F of the ESA? <br />Can a Basin-Wide Conservation Plan pursuant to 510 of ESA be <br />created and adopted by the USFWS be adopted without this special <br />legislation? <br /> <br />2) Does the prevention of requiring minimum stream flow where <br />cumulative impact considerations may require it, remove the. federal <br />storage projects from their present position of having non-jeopardy <br />opinions issued with significant flow provisions? Or does the <br />requirement that federal storage projects have operations necessary <br />to protect the habitat keep the pressure on the federal projects? <br /> <br />3) Is this truly a basin-wide problem or only an Upper Colorado <br />River Basin problem? Should the Advisory Council be for only the <br />Upper Basin States? Why would the Lower Basin States support this? <br />Does not the ESA create the opportunity for more water to the Lower <br />Basin States? <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />9/7/84f <br />
