Accordingly, the assessment of water <br />quality issues will not be initiated until late summer. The exact scope of this portion of the study is <br />difficult to determine prior to resolution of the pending litigation and prior to the quantification of the <br />magnitude of potential changes in stream flow. A water quality specialist with experience in the <br />appropriate water quality issues will be added to the Study Team. Input from the Steering Committee <br />will be secured prior to the selection of this specialist. <br />4.9.4 General EnvironmentaVPermitting <br />A complete understanding of permitting and general environmental issues is critical.
