<br />Revised Supplemental Draft Environmental Assessment-Chapter 2-Altematives <br /> <br /> <br />........... ..... <br />+ <br /> <br />Figure 3-Conceptual Design for Conventional Fish Ladder <br /> <br />A fish trap to control upstream movement of nonnative fish was also considered in the <br />preliminary designs for the fish ladder. However, factors such as cost, site limitations, <br />and land ownership at the dam site may make it infeasible to include a fish trap at this <br />location. A fish trap is being constructed at the Grand Valley Project Fish Passage <br />located about 5.3 miles upstream of the Price-Stubb Diversion Dam to prevent upstream <br />movements of nonnative fish above the Grand Valley Project Diversion Dam. <br /> <br />Reclamation also examined constructing a conventional fish ladder on the river-left bank <br />of the Price-Stubb Diversion Dam but determine the design to be cost prohibitive. <br />Limited space between the dam arid Interstate 70 and the lack of access for maintenance <br />also made the design infeasible. <br /> <br />Construction <br /> <br />The fish ladder would be completed under a construction contract. Before the fish ladder <br />could be constructed, Reclamation would coordinate the design, easements and access <br />with the dam and adjoining land owners. Temporary construction easements or permits <br />would also be acquired froni all affected land owners before construction. Reclamation <br />would negotiate protective measures to reduce impacts to private property, rights-of-ways <br />and facilities. Following construction, any damaged area would be restored, as near as <br />practicable, to its original condition. Access to the dam for construction would be from a <br /> <br />10 <br />
