CHAPTER II
STAGE ONE MONITORING
• escape devices were installed in the lined portion of the canal during
the spring of 1986.
Use of the lined canal by waterfowl and muskrats dropped sharply.
No effects on fish or aquatic invertebrates were documented. Complete
monitoring results are presented in the final wildlife monitoring report
(CDOW 1984b).
In summary, significant changes to wildlife habitats occurred in
the zones along canals and laterals, but few changes have been noted
farther from these waterways.
