<br />4.t~G <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Some of the structures presence, whether they are storage <br />or diversion dams, campground, or poles for power distri- <br />bution lines, are noticeably foreign to the natural environ- <br />men t. <br /> <br />The fluctuation of storage reservoirs will periodically <br />expose acres of foreshore which will be absent of vegetation <br />and contrast with the dense vegetation immediately above the <br />high water level. Potentially, the operation of the 6 <br />storage reservoirs could expose up to 6,700 acres of foreshore <br />if they are all drawn down at the same time. The potential <br />foreshore exposed by each reservoir is: <br /> <br /> Top of <br /> conservation <br /> pool surface Acreage of <br /> Reservoir acres minimum pool Foreshore <br /> Ruedi 997 108 889 <br /> Turquoise 1,788 709 1,079 <br /> Mt.

The presence of the Project facilities will <br />dilute the areaS aesthetic qualities. On the other hand, <br />some of the Project facilities, such as the roads, reflecting <br />qualities of the reservoirs and visitor interpretation <br />centers, will open up visitor opportunities of new vistas, <br />panoramic views and an appreciation of the area environment. <br /> <br />s. The construction and filling of Ruedi Reservoir (1964-1968) <br />inundated four of six archeological sites located in the area. <br />Studies of the archeological sites were completed prior to <br />their inundation; no recommendation for further studies of <br />the resources was made (Withers, 1964). These sites were not <br />significant enough to warrant preservation. The site of the <br />small village of Ruedi was inundated. Few, if any, of the <br />original buildings remained in the village at the time of <br />construction. Some of the structures in the village were <br />salvaged and moved, at least one burned, and most were <br />demolished. None of these structures had National Register <br />significance. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />IV-40 <br />
