Draft environmental statements <br />were filed for the Uintah Unit 01 the Cen. <br />tral Utah Project in eastern Utah and the <br />Paradox Valley Unit of the Colorado River <br />Basin Salinity Control Project (CRBSCP) <br />in western Colorado. A supplement to the <br />Bonneville Unit final environmental stale, <br />ment was prepared and filed for the <br />Recreation Master Plan at the enlarged <br />Strawberry Reservoir. A study 01 Stage <br />One of the Grand Valley Unit, also part of <br />the CABSCP, showed the project would <br />have no Significant environmental impact. <br />An additional 16 environmental assess. <br />ments were prepared. <br /> <br />Several major environmental studies were <br />initiated. Included were studies of the <br />aquatic and terrestrial biOlogy of Utah <br />Lake and a study of the native fish <br />species in the Green River belOW Flaming <br />Gorge Dam. <br /> <br />In June, the Environmental Defense Fund. <br />Trout Unlimited. and the Wilderness <br />SOCIety filed suit against the Water and <br />Power Resources Service.
