IV. Pallid Sturgeon <br />A. Program Effects on Pallid Sturgeon Habitat <br />1) How does Program water management affect pallid sturgeon habitat in the lower <br />Platte River? <br />a) What amount of discharge and sediment load in the lower Platte River is <br />derived from the central Platte and other sources? <br />b) How does flow and sediment load control quantity and quality of pallid <br />sturgeon habitat in the lower Platte? <br />(1) What are the habitat characteristics of different life stages of the <br />pallid sturgeon? <br />(2) What are the reproductive habitat characteristics of the pallid <br />sturgeon? <br />B. Program Effects on Pallid Sturgeon <br />1) How does Program water management affect pallid sturgeon in the lower Platte <br />River? <br />a) Does Program water management affect timing and magnitude of flows in <br />the lower Platte? <br />b) Do changes in timing and magnitude of flows occur at times important in <br />the life history of the pallid sturgeon (spawning, fry survival)? <br />C) Do changes in timing and magnitude of flows occur at times that stimulate <br />movement /migration (upstream/downstream behavior of pallid sturgeon? <br />V. Program Effects on "Other Species" Habitat <br />A. Do Program water and land management activities affect non - target state or federal <br />threatened or endangered species? <br />B. Do Program water and land management activities adversely affect non - listed species of <br />concern in the central Platte? <br />[Note: At least 2 of the reviewers suggested that these be identified at this time]. <br />
