<br />~-\\ <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation, and the Western Area Power <br />Administration), stated that 1993 flows damaged 521 acres of <br />pasture, 105 acres of cropland, pumps, and 2 mobile home <br />properties in the Jensen, Utah, area of the Green River. <br />Estimated costs for resolving the problems and preventing <br />future damage (e.g., by acquiring properties and moving the <br />mobile homes) ranged from approximately $320K to $600K. <br /> <br />2) Valentine Bottom (RM 27) to Green River, Utah (RM 120). <br /> <br />There are numerous floodplain washes, bottomlands, and side <br />canyon tributaries within this segment of river, which is <br />almost entirely federally-owned (BLM and NPS) and undeveloped. <br />There are few depression-type habitats in this area, however, <br />and habitat restoration may consist primarily of managing flows <br />to flood tributary mouths and other slackwater habitats where <br />numerous razorback larvae have been captured. <br /> <br />b. Colorado River <br /> <br />1) DeBeque to Rifle <br /> <br />This area is privately-owned; less-developed than the Fruita to <br />Palisade segment; and consists primarily of terrace-type <br />habitats where restoration would involve removal of dikes, <br />levees, rip-rap, etc., and management of flows. <br /> <br />2) Fruita to Palisade <br /> <br />This segment is privately-owned; highly developed; and consists <br />of both depression-type and terrace-type habitats. Some of the <br />depressions could be restored for razorback sucker larvae and <br />adults; restoration of the terrace-type habitats would involve <br />removal of dikes, levees, rip-rap, etc., and management of <br />flows. <br /> <br />c. Gunnison River <br /> <br />Escalante SWA to Hartland Diversion <br /> <br />Properties along this segment are owned by the State and local <br />governments and private landowners, and include both <br />depression-type and terrace-type habitats. Some of the <br />depressions could be restored for razorback sucker larvae and <br />adults; restoration of the terrace-type habitats would involve <br />removal of dikes, levees, rip-rap, etc., and management of <br />flows. <br /> <br />2 <br />
