<br />March 1956 <br /> <br />,~~~ <br />aOhn C. Gat1~ <br />Regional Director <br /> <br /> <br />0:1952 <br /> <br />CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />55. An :Important trout fishery exists on the western slope <br /> <br /> <br />within the area to be affected by the Eagle-Arkansas project. Unless <br /> <br />min:lmum streamfiows are provided at the points of diversion, aquatic <br /> <br />habitat will be drastically reduced with a corresponding reduction in <br /> <br />the fishery resource. Reconnnendation No. 1 provides the means whereby <br /> <br />existing stream fisheries can be protected. <br /> <br />56. The streams in the project area on the eastern slope also <br /> <br />comprise a productive trout fishery which will be damaged by increased <br />discharges of water from project works. Only indefinite provisions <br /> <br />have been made in recommendation No.2 for protection of these streams, <br /> <br />and further investigations are necessary in order to determine more <br /> <br />accurately the effects of the project, value of the fishery, and means <br /> <br />for mitigating losses. <br />57. Homestake Lake, unusually productive and well fished, is one <br />of the more valuable fisheries in the project area. It will be de- <br />stroyed by the proposed reservoir and should be replaced, as provided <br /> <br />in recommendation No.3. <br /> <br />58. Although the project will have little effect on wildlife <br />generally, there will be considerable loss of beaver and waterfowl <br /> <br />habitat. <br /> <br />59. Detailed investigation, for the purpose of developing measures <br /> <br /> <br />to protect the valuable fish and wildlife resources of the area, should <br /> <br /> <br />be conducted prior to completion of definite project plans. <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />~ <br />
