------------------- rates will be staged: when ri ver flow are 500 cfs or the pumping plant. greater--increase in pumping not to exceed 50 cfs/hr and decrease in pumping not to exceed 100 cfs/hr. When river flows are below 500 cfs, increased pumping not to exceed 25cfs/hr and decrease in pumping not to exceed 50 cfs/hr. Seasonal bypass flows of 225 cfs (April- Commitments will be honored once the pumping September), 160 cfs (October-November) and 125 plant goes into operation. cfs (December-March will be honored. 6-4 Monitoring of the AR for native fish and trout will 2000 FSEIS 5-14 The 2002 monitoring report (2002 Fish Studies begin prior to project operation and continue for at & on the Animas and La Plata Rivers) was least 4 year after project pumping begins. The 5-15 completed in June 2003. Monitoring of the AR studies are to be designed to understand native continued during 2003. A draft of the 2003 fishery, native sucker recruitment, and monitor monitoring report is scheduled to be completed in trout population. If Project operations have a January 2004, significant adverse effect, every reasonable effort will be made to reduce or eliminate impacts. In 2000, investigations will be initiated to determine whether or not fish barriers exist, whether small fish Iyoung of the year are lost through entrainment in canals, and whether effects to trout fishery may occurs. A recommendation for mitigation on possible effects to native fish will be made by 2005. Once the recommendation is approved by Service, CDOW, New Mexico Division of Game & Fish (NMG&F), and possibly the SUIT, it implementation will begin immediately. 6-5 Reclamation will review and adopt established 2000 FSEIS 5-15 Facilities have been included in the design of the guidelines for screening facilities to minimize fish DPP to minimize fish entrainment and entrainment and impingement at DPP and utilize impingement.
