GLEN CANYON ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES PHASE II TECHNICAL STUDY PLAN OUTLINE: Fiscal Year 1989 and Process for Completion of the Technical Studies I. INTRODUCTION A. Objective This study plan represents an initial attempt to outline the specific studies required to address the Phase II objectives of the Glen Canyon Environmental Studies (GCES). This information was developed in response to a directive from the Executive Review Committee to provide a more definitive outline of the technical requirements, the costs, and the time required to complete the environmental and economic portions of the GCES Phase II technical studies program. This document begins with a brief discussion of the approach, the primary directives, and guidelines that the technical study teams are working under. A request is made to the Executive Review Committee for clarifi- cation of certain areas and directions. fiscal year 1989 studies are derived from the technical categories of studies addressed at the January 9-10, 1989 GCES Environmental Study Team meeting. B. Approach The Phase II Study Plan is presented in four sections: (1) fiscal year 1989 Monitoring, Data Analysis, and Integrated Study Plan, (2) Boundaries in the Design of the Technical Program, (3) Critical fiscal year 1989 Study Needs, and (4) Development of an Integrated Study Plan for fiscal years 1990-91. The development of these technical categories of studies implements the focus identified by the GCES Environmental Study Team discussions on January 9-10, February 16-17, and March 20-21, 1989. In addition, the approach integrates. the technically oriented environmental concerns raised by the resource bureaus and agencies associated with the GCES Program. The overall GCES process and policy boundaries are defined in the "GCES Phase II and III Program for Implementa- tion" and are not discussed in this document. 1
