These effects may interfere with rare <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />and. endangered floral and faunal species and recreational pursuits. <br /> <br />Meeting the provisions of PL\12-500 will also require attention to these <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />local problems. <br /> <br />OVERVIEW OF THE REPORT <br /> <br />After the introduction to the problem of PL 92- 500 and water quality <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />in the Colorado River Basin (Chapter 11), the natural and man-made <br /> <br />physical setting of the Colorado River Basin is considered in detail <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />(Chapter III). The water quality of the basin is discussed in Chapter IV. <br /> <br />Stream standards, current water quality problems (especially salinity) <br /> <br />and stream definitions are described in detail. Chapter V lists some <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of the ecosystem issues and possible impacts of ecosystem changes and <br /> <br />water quality changes on recreation. <br /> <br />Economic and social impacts of PL 92- 500 are described in Chapter VI, . <br /> <br />and are related specifically to the Colorado River. Then the application of <br /> <br />PL 92- 500 to water quality problems and water quality control options is <br /> <br />described (Chapter VII). Chapter VIII deals with the institutional aspects <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of implementing PL 92-500 in the basin. The last two chapters identify <br /> <br />issues and approaches for the Phase Two study. A comprehensive list <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />of physical, environmental, economic, social and institutional impact <br /> <br />issues in applying PL 92-500 is developed in Chapter IX, including basin- <br /> <br />wide and problem specific questions. Together with analytical tools, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br />. <br />
