No barriers to migration may be erected in the stream <br /> <br />segments outlined in Part II above. <br /> <br />IV. Maintenance of Flow and Temperature Regimes <br /> <br />A. Maintenance of flow and temperature regimes must be the <br /> <br /> <br />joint and shared responsibility of federal and state agencies and <br /> <br /> <br />~ project proponents. Each has a stake in assuring implementation <br /> <br /> <br />of the Endangered Species Act while also permitting additional <br /> <br /> <br />water resource development to occur. That goal can not be <br /> <br />achieved absent implementation of essential flow and temperature <br /> <br />regimes for the endangered fish species. <br /> <br />B. Flow and temperature regimes will be implemented hy (al <br /> <br /> <br />quantifying the necessary flows and temperature regimes nod (bl <br /> <br /> <br />acquiring (or securing by other means) those quantities of water <br /> <br /> <br />according to the following schedule, <br /> <br />l. The first increment will consist of <br /> <br />(a) development and implementation of new opern- <br /> <br />ting criteria for Flaming Gorge; <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />9 <br />
