<br />operations. <br /> <br />Line 444. Replace "this" with "the No Action". <br /> <br />Line 450. Table II-I is referenced at line 438 as giving a summary of the analysis or evaluation of <br />alternatives that were retained for consideration. Accordingly, the title to Table II-I should be <br />modified to: "The alternatives retained for detailed analysis arrayed by evaluation criteria". Also, <br />the summary evaluation of the 250 variable/5000, the 250/6000, the 500/6000, and the <br />DecommissionlBreach Dam alternatives should be deleted because they were not considered for <br />detailed evaluation. The reasons the latter four alternatives were dropped from consideration are <br />described elsewhere in Chapter II. <br /> <br />Two of the evaluation categories shown in Table II-I for comparison purposes are not all clear. The <br />ADEIS includes Navajo Dam authorized purposes under the various laws and policies category; but, <br />the authorized purpose of Navajo Dam is to regulate river flows so as to allow for water development <br />and use under compact apportionments, which is the existing/future authorized water uses category. <br />Accordingly, delete "(including Navajo Dam authorized purposes)" from the third evaluation <br />category, and delete "Minimizes adverse impacts to" from the fifth evaluation category. Also, the <br />fifth and sixth evaluation categories, existing/future authorized water uses and avoids adverse <br />impacts to Indian trust water rights/future uses, should be placed at the top of the table to reflect their <br />priority relative to the Navajo Dam authorized purpose. In addition, the second evaluation category, <br />accomodates most publiclinteragency input, should be deleted because such input does not <br />necessarily relate to the evaluation of alternatives unless it can be incorporated under the remaining <br />categories. These changes are consistent with the comments on lines 436-439. <br /> <br />Line 459. Under the 500/5000 Alternative, ehange the description of San Juan River monthly flows <br />at Bluff from "Minimum flow <100 cfs" to "Minimum flow maintained >500 cfs at most times, but <br />may be <100 cfs at times when reservoir storage exhausted". The description as written may be <br />confusing to the public. <br /> <br />Line 467. Under the 250/5000 Alternative, replace "Hammond" with "Citizens' Ditch", and replace <br />"in lower river" with "between Farmington and Lake Powell". Under the 500/5000 Alternative, <br />replace "lower river" with "river between Farmington and Lake Powell". <br /> <br />Line 469. Under both the 250/5000 and 500/5000 Alternatives, insert "below Farmington" at the <br />end of the descriptions for downstream rafting recreation impacts. <br /> <br />Line 472. The hydropower replacement costs under the 250/5000 and 500/5000 Altematives should <br />be moved to the economics impacts descriptions at line 380. <br /> <br />Line 473. Under all three alternatives, replace "rights" with "water projects". Under the 500/5000 <br />Alternative, replace "included" with "would occur". <br /> <br />Line 475. Under the 250/5000 and 500/5000 Alternatives, add a statement summarizing the impacts <br />of the alternatives on stream bottom sediments. <br /> <br />20 <br />
