<br />001710 <br /> <br />Potential limitations of the Test included its length (above), the <br />unpredictability of river bonk storage, sporadic localized rainfall <br />that augmented river flows, mechanical equipment limitations <br />preventing the release of exactly 250 cfs, and lower rates of water <br />diversion than anticipated. These issues will be addressed in the <br />subsequent EIS. <br /> <br />Monitoring <br /> <br />Monitoring activities conducted during the Test included the <br />following. <br /> <br />*: Aerial photos from the dam to the Animas River confluence <br /> <br />*: Water temperatures (pre-test, during, and post-test) at <br />several locations from the dam downstream to the <br />Bloomfield area <br /> <br />*: New Mexico Deportment of Game and Fish (NMDGF) <br />documentation of trout and trout fishing. <br /> <br />*: Visual assessment of flow, habitat conditions, and impacts <br />to water diversion structures and recreation at several <br />locations between the dam and Shiprock, NM <br /> <br />*: Flow data from existing gage stations along the river <br /> <br />*: Stage (elevation) readings at several locations along the <br />river <br /> <br />*: Observations of resource specialists in the field during the <br />Test <br /> <br />-4- <br /> <br />Summer Low Flow Report - November 2001 <br />
