Title of Proposal, Flooded Bottomlands Restoration program, Site, Adobe <br />Creek - Phase I. (Evaluation of contaminant impacts on razorback suckers <br />utilizing restored flooded bottomlands in the Upper Colorado River.) <br /> <br />Proposal submitted by: <br />Kevin J. Buhl and Steven J. Hamilton <br />National Biological Survey <br />Midwest Science Center <br />yankton Field Research Station <br />RR 1 Box 295 <br />Yankton, SD 57078-9214 <br />605-665-9217 <br /> <br />II. Relationship to RIPRAP: <br /> <br />Colorado River Action Plan: Mainstem <br />II.A.To restore and manage flooded bottomland habitat. <br /> <br />III. Study Goals, Objectives <br />A. Goal: <br /> <br />1. To determine if water quality (i.e. problems with selenium and <br />other inorganic contaminants) at resto~ed sites will be conducive <br />to supporting razorback sucker during their various life stages. <br /> <br />B. Objectives, <br /> <br />1. To determine the flows necessary to reduce elevated concentrations <br />of selenium to acceptable concentrations in water and food <br />organisms and still maintain habitat that is attractive to and <br />suitable for endangered fish. <br /> <br />2. To determine if concentrations of selenium and other inorganic <br />contaminants that are bioaccumulated by razorback sucker adults <br />placed in restored backwater habitat have an adverse affect on <br />their reproductive success. <br /> <br />3. To determine survival, growth and bioaccumulation of selenium in <br />razorback sucker larvae that are placed into restored backwater <br />habitats. <br />
