A second level specification <br /> <br />of components was made to determine which components are relevant to <br /> <br />the Yampa and Green Wild and Scenic Rivers Study area and the action <br /> <br />available to planners under authority of this study. <br /> <br />Although no specific conflicts were found between wild and scenic river <br /> <br />designation and water resource development projects, the State Compre- <br /> <br />hensive Outdoor Recreation Plans (SCORP) for Utah and Colorado indicate <br /> <br />a demand for increased river recreation use. For example, in the <br /> <br />Colorado <br /> <br />portion of the !~mpa Basin, adjusted SCORP figures indicate a <br />(,;f, ()I'JO O\A '$ J~ f'r<(jS <br />an additional 214,394 recreation {days for canoeing or rafting <br /> <br />need for <br /> <br />in streams in 1975. Participation in this activity is projected to <br /> <br />increase 52 percent by 199q _~n the study area. Therefore, increased <br />river recreation use was identified in the second level specification <br /> <br />of NED componentso <br />
