III. Project Summary:

Based upon entrainment at other diversion dams, entrainment of native fish in the
Redlands Water and Power Canal system is expected. In response the Upper Colorado River
Endangered Fish Recovery Program (Program) has identified this canal as an important
component of recovery efforts for Colorado pikeminnow and razorback sucker.

The Program has adopted 3/32" wedge wire screening material as a standard as it
prevents entrainment of a wide range of fish life stages, minimizes operation and maintenance
problems and represents proven state-of-the-art technology, All screening alternatives will
emphasize minimization of fish mortality and operational impacts to the canal system,

IV. Project Schedule: Currently scheduled for construction in FY 2004.
