<br />Table 2 is a summary of costs, benefits and physical effects and Table 3 <br />is a summary of composite environmental ratings for alternative resource <br />uses. Environmental evaluation inventory worksheets are in Appendix A. The <br />results in Table 3 show no adverse composite effects to pertinent resource <br />uses studied which result from proposed salinity control measures. Overall <br />improvement in some resource conditions will occur with implementation of <br />the recommended plan. Irrigation water delivered to the Overton Wildlife <br />Refuge near Lake Mead will be of better quality. The improved low flow <br />water quality and the vegetation to be established to control erosion will <br />enhance wildlife habitat. <br /> <br />Physical land treatment of rangeland in Moapa Valley can not be justified <br />and is not considered in this plan. There is no forest land. Unique cultural, <br />historical, archeological, or natural resources will not be disturbed by the <br />installation of proposed measures. About 32 acres of riparian wetland habitat <br />will be converted to upland wildlife habitat which represents about 0.5 percent <br />of the total wetland area in the Subevaluation Unit. <br /> <br />Monitoring of irrigation water management and related resources affected <br />by the improvements will be inititated and expanded to assess impacts of <br />proposed salinity control measures. <br /> <br />v <br /> <br />cn"G'~8 <br />. ~ ( <br />
