(84psi) and El. 6882 live testing.
6. Analysis
a. Embryos are difficult to obtain represented fish and are rugged
i. Egg survival is 20% through all tests
ii. The intake is below surface elevation and eggs will be laid in the estuarial
waters around the lake edge
(a). Believe there is a low likelihood of eggs entering the intake
b. Fish tests show a high likelihood of working based on given data
i. Likelihood of minnows in intake is low as they will be in shallows around
lake.
(a). Minnows that travel near the intake are food for predatory fish.

test what actually enters the intake naturally.
