None <br /> <br />Depressed Area <br /> <br />The service area is not in a designated depressed area. <br /> <br />~ Environmental Impact <br /> <br />a. Mitigation of the losses of big game range resulting from new <br />irrigation in Wyoming has not been resolved. <br /> <br />b. Loss of big game range in Colorado has been established but how <br />to mitigate the losses has not been agreed to. <br /> <br />! <br />/ <br /> <br />c. Big game access across canals is a significant problem that <br />was resolved by including big game crossing. <br /> <br />d. Project irrigation and stream depletions will result in 2.5 ppm <br />increase in salinity in the Lower Colorado River below Lake Mead. <br /> <br />'-------- <br /> <br />Political Considerations <br /> <br />Local and State interests are concerned over the long delay in starting <br />construction of this project which was authorized in 1964. This project <br />would aid substantially in bolstering the econoll:l\Y of a dominantly agri- <br />cultural and grazing area. <br /> <br />4 <br />
