<br />v <br /> <br />I <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />--.- <br /> <br />- 7 - <br /> <br />'- <br /> <br />misinformation. The County will also demonstrate that <br /> <br />difficulties with respect to the Bonanza site and its <br /> <br />v <br /> <br />Green River source of water -- involving the problems of <br /> <br />compliance with the Endangered Species Act -- have been <br /> <br />-.... <br /> <br />understated or ignored. In fact, there .are no significant <br /> <br />differences between the Rangely and Bonanza sites regard- <br /> <br />ing water and Endangered .Species Act considerations. <br /> <br />Although the DEIS concludes that Endangered Species Act <br /> <br />problems can be avoided by use of Green River water with <br /> <br />compensating releases from the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />analysis reveals that this is incorrect. Thus, to the <br /> <br />extent that any delays might be experienced in establish- <br /> <br />ing a firm water supply for the Rangely site, similar <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />considerations will pose comparable delays for the Bonanza <br /> <br />site. Rio Blanco County believes that Endangered Species <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />'Act considerations should not delay either the Rangely <br /> <br />Reservoir project (Taylor Draw and Wolf Creek) or projects <br /> <br />on the Green River; however, if such considerations are to <br /> <br />delay progress on the one, they must be applied even- <br /> <br />handedly to the other. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />0408 <br />
