evaluate the affect positive or negative on other Fish and <br />Wildlife resources. <br />The general report outline for the stage one report is shown in Table 1. <br />It is anticipated that the stage two evaluation and report of the South <br />Platte River operations will follow a similar format. <br />b. Documentation of Hydrology Models and Habitat Models <br />D ter data and inforinati , w114. -& &nel%ded in supporting <br />documents. The supporting documents for the study will include I;s' <br />g4#jiw for the hydrologic models and habitat models. The 19000MA , nd <br />h°' oodels to be developed for the Platte River basin will include a <br />*North Platte River, South Platte River, and Platte River <br />operations model, "t1 rations models for select segments of tie <br />Pl in, a set sport model for the Platte River, and <br />species habitat models. <br />V. Existing Data and Proposed Data Acquisition <br />a. Data Requirements <br />Hrc1�i1 ersd 'biological data requirements for this evaluation are <br />discussed below. The hydrological data requirements are hi •;QW <br />records (monthly and daily), historic i de (monthly and <br />daily), cdAWIkkc data (precipitation, temperature, and evaporation), <br />la*&-mme data, r e1 data, and m , me data. -Other data <br />required to do a hydrological analysis is physical data of river strut <br />tures; dams, reservoirs, diversion dams, multiple channel flows, and <br />power plant size. <br />The b3 t erequirements are species' use information of the. <br />habitats they use. The habitats used include ins- oakanA ..end out-of-­" <br />chaMfi4'.1i4Y*,r ne dreas along the South Platte, North Platte, and Platte <br />Rivers. The physical parameters relating to the quantity and quality of <br />species habitat in the Central Platte have been defined by species <br />workshops and published research. Chapter 3 of the Platte River <br />Management Joint Study Biology Work Group final report discusses these <br />references and the species habitat use. Additionally,'every reasonable <br />effort will be made to locate and acquire other pertinent information. <br />b. collection and Analysis of Data <br />Hydrologists and technicians will assemble and analyze the flow_.records, <br />past operation, and climatological data to develop a water supply <br />operation study of the Platte River basin. Assembling the data will <br />require an extensive work effort as raw data exists in many locations. <br />Entities possessing data are State natural resource agencies and <br />Universities, Federal agencies (Corps of Engineers, Bureau of <br />0 8 <br />
