<br />pleted for the three sites previously identified. <br /> <br />To take advantage of the high spring flows of 1995, aerial photos were taken of the Green, <br />Colorado and Gunnison rivers during peak flows. The photos will be used to determine the extent <br />of flooding that occurred for a given flow, and the relative "flood-ability" of different flood plains. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />"Conceptual framework" for the habitat restoration program to be developed. <br />This will list program objectives, questions to be answered and hypotheses to <br />be tested. <br />Sept. 30, 1995. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Land acquisition plan to be developed, identifying options for acquisition of <br />interests in privately-owned flood plain properties from willing participants. <br />The plan will identify flood plain areas targeted for acquisition and restoration <br />and will describe the approaches to be used. <br />Sept. 30, 1995. <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Levee removal strategy to be developed, identifying flood plain areas to be <br />restored by levee removal and evaluating areas that currently flood. The strat- <br />egy will describe the reach-specific approach to be used for evaluating flood <br />plain restoration results. <br />Sept. 30, 1995. <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />First draft of basin-wide monitoring/evaluation program to be available for <br />review. This involves developing written protocols for monitoring endangered <br />razorback suckers, non-native fish populations and the river ccosystem. <br />Sept. 30, 1995. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Flood model reports to be complete for a 16-rnile portion of the Green River <br />in the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge and a nine-mile stretch through <br />Canyonlands National Monument. (The reports are to estimate the amount of <br />flooding that would result from various river flows and will help determine the <br />amount, duration and frequency of flooding that occurred before Flaming <br />Gorge Dam and other water projects existed. This is the second flood model <br />produced by the Army Corps of Engineers' Hydrologic Engineering Center <br />and is sometimes referred to as the "HEC-2" modeL) <br />Sept. 30, 1995. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Date: <br /> <br />Draft report to be available on fish species that used flood plain habitats dur- <br />ing 1995 high spring flows. <br />Sept. 30, 1995. <br /> <br />Action: <br /> <br />Action: <br />Date: <br /> <br />Gravel pit at 29 5/8 Road to be constructed; evaluation to begin. <br />Sept. 30,1995. <br /> <br />4 <br />
