The area will be graded and reseeded in an effort <br />to return them to as near to their natural appearance as possible. <br /> <br />4. Issue: The South Fork has been diverted, even though it's a <br />considerable distance away from the diversion dam. How much right <br />does any authority have to sanction this sloppy type of bulldozer work <br />in their pursuit of every drop of water? The Bureau should not leave <br />a forest valley looking like a desolate, littered landscape. <br /> <br />Raised by: <br /> <br />Name <br /> <br />Representing <br /> <br />James Hindelang <br /> <br />Crossroutes Network <br /> <br />Response: <br /> <br />The diversion dams are located on the creek at points immediately <br />adjacent to the point at which the water enters the tunnel conduit. <br />These structures are typical of the collection system. They are <br />equipped with bypass gates that allow the minimum flows to return to <br />the streams. <br /> <br />Initially, construction activities do upset the natural setting with <br />equipment, powerlines, roads, and buildings. After construction, <br />however, the area is reshaped. Buildings, powerlines', and roads not <br />required for operation and maintenance are removed as is construction <br />related trash, litter, and debris. The area is later reseeded.

Issue: Minimum streamflow standards should be reexamined for all <br />rivers and streams to ensure sufficient water to maintain the aesthetic <br />values of those areas;' that roads be built only where absolutely neces- <br />sary and closed except for maintenance; and that rehabilitation be done <br />wherever the land is damaged. <br /> <br />Raised by: <br /> <br />Name <br /> <br />Representing <br /> <br />Dottie Fox <br /> <br />Roaring Fork Sierra Club <br /> <br />Respons'e: <br /> <br />All conditions mentioned in this issue are being met.
