Trout do not inhabit the river <br />this far downstream. It is anticipated that sport fishing would <br />improve with the addition of a large reservoir. Also available at <br />the reservoir would be boating, camping, and other types of water- <br />based recreation. <br /> <br />5. Flood Control <br /> <br />There are several ways in which the project would aid in flood <br />prevention. The reservoir, even when full, would regulate peak flows <br />from convective storms and could reduce flood flows from snowmelt <br />during April, May, and June when the reservoir was not full by stor- <br />ing portions of the flood flows (15), <br /> <br />The reservoir would also aid in flood prevention by virtually <br />eliminating downstream flooding caused by ice jams in the late winter <br />and early spring (15). <br /> <br />Two other types of potential flood conditions which the dam <br />would help control are those attributed to general heavy rains and <br />rain on snow during snowmelt situations (15). <br /> <br />1-9 <br /> <br />,'~~ <br />
