<br />- 2 - <br /> <br />o Wildlife - working on Preble's meadow jumping mouse impacts and Fish and Wildlife <br />Service issues and request for information. They will be developing a schedule on how to <br />interact with Pete Plage informally and formally for the Programmatic Biological Opinion. <br />o Wetlands - Looking at extent of impacts to migratory birds with an emphasis on wooded <br />riparian habitat. Audubon Society provided bird databases that have proved useful and <br />hel pful. <br />o Water Quality - Dave Jensen reviewed the model, adjustments on the assumptions made <br />more E. Coli data added. Next step is to send out report to WQ group. <br />o Discharge/Flood Damages - Chuck Hillerson received water surface profiles but still is <br />working to determine where to start damage assessment in various areas. There are 2-year <br />through 500-year flood profiles. Downstream to baseline road. Chuck will look at costs <br />associated with different alternatives. Cost of using Chatfield vs. cost of not using <br />Chatfield. There is guess work in the no action alternative but the Corps needs the "best <br />estimates". This information will be in Chapter 2 and 5. <br />o Recreation Impacts - the costs of whatever mitigation is required will be included in the <br />cost of reallocation calculation. <br />. Chapter 6 - Public involvement, review and consultation. Marty has received comments and is <br />collating. <br />. Rare Plant Surveys - Tetra Tech is making revisions to preliminary draft per Corps comments; <br />draft report to the Corps in a week or two. Corps will send out to USFWS and the state for <br />reVl ew. <br />. 404 Permit - Tom Browning asked about the need for a section 404 permit. There is no fill so no <br />section 404 permit needed. Even if there is no 404 permit we still have a NEP A review of impacts <br />on wetlands. <br />. Reservoir Operational Model - Joel Knofczysnki is in the process of writing the final report for <br />the reservoir operational model. This report will be part of the appendixes. <br />. Schedule - Rick McLoud confirmed that Chapter 2 is seven weeks behind and the water quality <br />effort is behind but can be absorbed without schedule slippage at this point. <br />. Reservoir Operational Plan - Kent Wiley asked if this would be included in the FR/EIS. Marty <br />explained that there will be a revision to the water management plan for the reservoir but not part <br />of the FR/EIS. <br /> <br />Recreation Impact Miti2ation Study (State Parks) <br />. EDA W has finished their analysis but will not publish the study or report back to the group until <br />the findings are presented to the State Parks Board in mid June. There are concerns of only having <br />monthly storage instead of daily storage accounting. <br />. Earlier EDA W report (2004) was prior to the new Corps policy on structures within the 100-year <br />flood pool. They will have to look at the Phase I study and facilities from that study to see how <br />they look. The swim beach materials and design and location might be different based on pool <br />fluctuations and sighting above the 100-year flood pool requirements. <br />. Tetra Tech needs the recreation impact analysis for parts of the FR/EIS report analyses and write <br />up by July 1 to stay on schedule. <br />. The State Parks study will put a price tag on mitigation and alternatives. There is a question is the <br />swim beach mitigation could even occur at the reservoir. It may need to be moved based on <br />fluctuations. <br /> <br />Flood Protection . Water Project Planning and Finance. Stream and Lake Protection <br />Water Supply Protection.
