While CSR <br />and Its members believe that there Is neither the legal authority nor the scientific evidence to <br />support these flow demands, Section 7(aX1) requIres that Secretaly Gliclanan, the <br />Department of AgricultUre, and the Forest Service (1) implement a vegetation and snow <br />management Pro&ram for water flow augmentation designed to produce such flows as the <br />Fish &; Wildlife Service detennines to bell"O""'''''ry for the recovery of lIsted species in the <br />Central Platte region, and (2) amend or revise applicable Forest Plans to ensure that .National <br />Forests in the Platte River Basin arem"""ged In a manner which does not cause or result In <br />an Jncrease In forest density over hIstOric or JX'C':'Forest levels. <br /> <br /> <br />A <br />Bennett w. <br />for <br />Trout & Raley, P.c. <br /> <br /> <br />lam S.
