<br />Lines 97-100. This bullet is additional explanation in paragraph form and should not be formatted <br />as an indented bullet statement. The paragraph could be deleted as it is information from public <br />scoping meetings generally accounted for under line 76, or it could be placed to the left-hand margin <br />as a paragraph of explanation if Reclamation feels it is significant enough to keep in the DEIS. <br />However, if kept, the DElS should recognize that whiie attempts may be madt: lu lJIiJiiiiiize or <br />mitigate adverse impacts of Navajo Dam operations on incidental recreation, fish and wildlife, and <br />hydropower generation benefits provided by Navajo Dam and Reservoir, the dam operations must <br />provide protection of the primary authorized purposes of the Navajo Unit. <br /> <br />Line 97. Ifkept in the DElS, insert ", secondary to the above criteria," following "alternatives", and <br />insert "downstream" following ":". <br /> <br />Line 99. lfkept in the DElS, replace the first comma with ";". <br /> <br />Line 100. Ifkept in the DEIS, replace "recreation" with "minimizing or mitigating adverse impacts <br />of alternative dam operations on fish and wildlife, recreation and hydropower generation benefits." <br /> <br />Line 120. Insert "tailwater" preceding "trout". <br /> <br />Lines 124-125. Insert "the following" following ",", and replace "developed following a threshold <br />screening for their ability to meet Flow Recommendations and Navajo Unit purposes" with <br />"formulated". If ability to meet the Flow Recommendations criteria and Navajo Unit purposes was <br />a threshold screen, decommissioning and breaching Navajo Dam should never have been formulated <br />or developed as an alternative. <br /> <br />Line 127. Replace "Historical" with "1973-1991 Period Historic". <br /> <br />Line 139. References in the ADEIS to an alternative to decommission and breach Navajo Dam <br />should be deleted from the DEIS as it is a concept that should never have been formulated and was <br />never really considered because it is outside the scope of modifications to dam operations. Removal <br />of the dam clearly would not meet the need to fulfill the purposes and functions of Navajo Dam. <br /> <br />Line 155. Insert "direct flow" following "senior". <br /> <br />Line 161. Replace "Historical" with "Said". <br /> <br />Line 170. Replace "; thus" with ". Thus". <br /> <br />Lines 171. Replace "existing conditions, but it would represent a continuation of conditions" with <br />"the conditions that have existed during the test flow period over the past ten years, but it would <br />represent conditions that occurred historically". <br /> <br />Line I 72. Replace "(historic period). Generally, in this scenario" with ". Generally, under this <br />aI ternative,". <br /> <br />15 <br /> <br />00755 <br />
