<br />"j,j). <br />~, <br /> <br />(3) Local and national significance - none. <br /> <br />e, Water Quality <br /> <br />(1) Eutrophication in impoundments: <br /> <br />The project reservoirs would not receive constant <br /> <br />nutrient loading, and nutrient levels would not be <br /> <br />high enoug~ to promote eutrophication. <br /> <br />(2) Reduced downstream flow: The total annual streamflow <br /> <br />below McPhee dam would be decreased by 105,200 acre- <br /> <br />feet, mostly occurring during spring runoff. <br /> <br />(3) Salinity increases: 11.1 mg/l at Imperial Dam. Of <br /> <br />the 11.1 mg/l increase, 1.0 mg/l would be from <br /> <br />increase in salt loading and 10.1 mg/l would be <br /> <br />from streamflow depletions, <br /> <br />(5) Other: none: <br /> <br />(6) Compliance with State standards: yes. <br /> <br />f., Inducement for flood plain development: <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />g. Existing and potential recreational uses: <br /> <br />(1) Type and magnitude - The project would reduce annual <br /> <br />river boating by up to 1,470 boater days from the <br /> <br />present level of 3,200 boater days annually. <br /> <br />h, <br /> <br />Endangered or threatened species. <br /> <br />:1 <br /> <br />(1) Federal list - the peregrine falcon has been sighted <br /> <br />on the Ute Moutain Ute Indian Reservation, and the <br /> <br />presence of an aerie outside the project rights-of-way <br /> <br />:1 <br />
