ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED <br />SHOULD THE PROPOSAL BE IMPLEMENTED <br /> <br />All construction activities on the project site which create <br />noise, unmitigated dust, equipment fumes, smoke from clearing the <br />rese~voir area, erosion and water siltation, congestion, additional <br />local traffic, and visual unsightliness are generally considered <br />adverse impacts and unavoidable. <br /> <br />The loss of homes for four families is unavoidable. The loss <br />of almost 600 acres of agriculture lands, the crops raised on some <br />of those lands, and the income from the crops and other uses of the <br />land are unavoidable. <br /> <br />The loss of about four miles of riparian habitat for wildlife <br />is considered an unavoidable loss, some of which will be mitigated. <br />Four miles of the stream will be lost as possible crossings for <br />migration routes across the White River. <br /> <br />The drawdown of the reservoir will be apparent in late summer, <br />fall, and winter months. The resulting unsightly "mudflats" will <br />be an unavoidable impact although some mitigation is possible. <br />With completion of the dam and filling of the reservoir, their <br />appearance in the general landscape is unavoidable, whether or not <br />such appearance is considered adverse or beneficial. <br /> <br />The construction of the optional hydroelectric generating <br />facilities would require the construction of high tension trans- <br />mission lines whose appearance would be an unavoidable adverse <br />impact. <br /> <br />V-l <br /> <br />1 <br />
