<br />Ll <br /> <br />spawning population. Also, larvae will be allowed to drift into the <br />s ite naturally. <br /> <br />Site structures and other physical parameters will be inspected and <br />monitored to ensure proper functioning. For examp1e, hydrological <br />data will be collected to determine if the site fills at the <br />predicted flows; and geomorphological data will be collected to <br />determine if sedimentation is going to become a problem, or if site <br />restoration has affected channel stability. <br /> <br />Physical, chemical, and biological conditions within the site will <br />be monitored throughout the season, to ensure adequacy for <br />sustaining razorback larvae. In the fall, Leota L-7 will be <br />drained. If the structures work properly, no fishes will escape <br />into the river during the draining process. All fishes are expected <br />to drain into, and be harvested from, the fish kettle. All <br />nonnative fishes harvested will be disposed of (subject to approval <br />of UDWR). All endangered fishes harvested will be held, genetically <br />fingerprinted (if a technique is avai1able), PIT-tagged, and stocked <br />into the Green River (subject to approval by the Recovery Program). <br />A11 non-endangered native fishes harvested wi11 be stocked into the <br />Green Ri ver. <br /> <br />VII. Task Description (FY 95-98): <br /> <br />1. Plan, design, reconnect Leota L-7. <br /> <br />2. Allow Leota L-7 to fill. Capture wild razorback larvae from <br />various locations along the Green River and stock them into the <br />site. <br /> <br />3. Evaluate site structures and effects of site restoration on the <br />area. <br /> <br />4. Monitor water levels, basic water quality, temperature, fish <br />species composition, and re1ative food densities. <br /> <br />5. Drain Leota L-7 and harvest all fishes. <br /> <br />6. Evaluate resu1ts; write report. <br /> <br />VI II.
