<br />\. '?,'(.. ~ <br /> <br />quality, and social well-being and (b) to identify both the location and nature of specific <br />nonvolumetric problem issues which are expected to arise in each ASA, and water and <br />water-related land areas which should be studied for possible retention in their natural state <br />because of their recreational, scenic. or cultural importance. Activities to be undertaken are: <br /> <br />. Nalligation (CE with MARAD)-For 1975, 1985, and 1000, the adequacy of pro- <br />jected instream flow levels to support the projected volume of commercial traffic <br />will be evaluated for selected ASA's and the location of specific navigation prob- <br />lems within each selected ASA will be determined. <br /> <br />,r, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Recreation (USDI)-Water-related recreation, natural, cultural. and scenic re- <br />sources and areas of critical environmental concern which should be considered <br />for recreational use, preservation, protection, or enhancement will be identified <br />and described. Specific within each ASA, water-related recreation problem <br />issues and areas which should be further considered by the specific-problem <br />analysis will be identified. <br /> <br />.' <br /> <br />. Hydroelectric power (FPC)-For 1975,1985, and 2000, the ability of projected <br />instream flow levels to support projected hydroelectric generation will be evalu- <br />a ted in each ASA. <br /> <br />. Near shore marine and eSlllarine fish and wildlife resources (USDI)- The current <br />condition of and potential threats to estuarine and marine ecosystems located in <br />coastal ASA's will be analyzed. <br /> <br />. Wild and scenic rillers (USDI)-Existing wild and scenic rivers and others with <br />potential for such use will be identified and described within each ASA. Those <br />rivers and river segments of this group which would be adversely affected as a <br />result of increases in consumptive uses elsewhere will be identified. <br /> <br />. Wetlands (USDI)-Important wetland areas in need of preservation will be <br />identified and described. To the extent available, current wetland acreages will <br />be ex tracted from the National Wetlands Inventory and disappearance rates will <br />be projected. when feasible. <br /> <br />. Water quality (EPA)-1975 and 1985 central-case-related water quality problem <br />areas will be geographically described within each ASA. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Public lands (USDI and USDA)-Identify and describe, within each ASA, problem <br />issues and problem areas affecting existing or potential public lands or where <br />severe water adequacy problems or conflicts of use are expected to arise as a re- <br />sult of implementation of central-case assumptions. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />. Indian resources (USDI)-Identify and describe, within each ASA, problem issues <br />and problem areas where severe future water adequacy problems or conOicts of <br />use are expected to arise as a result of projected future requirements and future <br />exercise of Indian reserved water rights. <br /> <br />17 <br />
