<br />ljMI) <br /> <br />Environmental Compliance <br /> <br />Compliance with federal and State environmental laws will be <br />necessary prior to acquisition and/or restoration of sites. An <br />assessment will be needed to cover NEPA, 404 permits, water rights, <br />water quality regulations, Section 7, floodplain regulations, etc. <br /> <br />VII. <br /> <br />Task Description <br />Site Selection <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Selections will be made initially from the list of ranked sites. <br />2. Site Screening <br /> <br />Sites will be screened for contaminants and willingness of <br />landowners to cooperate. For sites where no major problems are <br />identified, or where problems are resolvable, permission will be <br />asked of landowners to restore and evaluate the site. <br /> <br />3. Site Design and Restoration <br /> <br />Site design and restoration will be based on input from <br />hydrologists, geomorphologists, and biologists. Environmental <br />compliance will need to be completed prior to restoration. <br /> <br />4. Evaluation of Results <br /> <br />Sites will be evaluated to determine if razorback larvae can drift <br />into the site, survive and grow within the site, and leave the site <br />over the desired range of flows. A basin-wide evaluation program <br />will monitor species' and system response to restoration activities. <br /> <br />VII I. Study Schedule <br />1. Site selection FY 94-96 <br />2.
