<br />Or' ""..-e <br />'t...l>~;) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />B. Alternative B - Sell the Setchfield property and credit Federal Aid with <br />the money. If this occurs and the hunting and fishing rights are not <br />retained on the Setchfield property, there will be a loss of recreational <br />opportunity. The agricultural use of the land would be the same as in <br />Alternative A. There would be no lands to replace the Setchfield property <br />and evnironmental and recreational values of the replacement land would <br />not exist. <br /> <br />C. Alternative C - Exchange the property for other lands. If this alter- <br />native was accepted another assessment would be written when the other <br />lands had been selected. <br /> <br />D. Alternative D - Reconstruct Setchfield Dam. This alternative would create <br />a lake similar to the one prior to the break in the dam. Use of the pro- <br />perty would again become recreational when a new sport fishery was estab- <br />lished. Although there are benefits, the cost of the project makes it <br />imp ractical. <br /> <br />E. Alternative E - No action. No environmental changes would occur unless <br />the exchange of use agreement was cancelled. If this occurred the Purga- <br />toire land would not be available to the public and use of the land for <br />agricultural purposes would increase. <br /> <br />V. Irreversible or Irretrievable Corrmitment of Resources <br /> <br />Unavoidable Adverse Impacts - There are no irreversible or irretrievable com- <br />mitments of the resource in conjunction with the trade. The adverse impact of <br />inc reased litter, stress on wildlife, and vandalism already occurs because of <br />the use exchange agreement now in effect. <br /> <br />VI. Relationships Between Short Term and Long Term Productivity <br /> <br />The short term and long term uses are the same. The hunting and fishirw;) <br />access clause in the Setchfield property disposal will allow the public to use <br />the land in a manner similar to the way it is used now. The use of the land <br />for grazing purposes will not change the physical characteristics of the pro- <br />perty. Acquisition of the Purgatoire property and the shooting range will <br />maintain or improve the existing environment. <br />
