O. Box 11568 <br />Salt Lake City, UT 84147 <br /> <br />Director <br /> <br />Dear Dave: <br /> <br />The Draft Environmental Impact Statement covering the Colorado <br />River Water Quality Improvement Program (INT DES 76-9) is well <br />written and does fairly evaluate the probable project impacts. We <br />have only one main comment regarding the wildlife port'ion of the <br />statement. <br /> <br />We agree the fisheries, Page III-63 (7), are rather mediocre and <br />are also hopeful that they will be improved by the project. We do, <br />however, believe sealing the canal seeps may eliminate more than <br />1,000 acres of habitat as both. upland game and waterfowl habitat <br />will be lost. No mention is made of possible mitigation for these <br />habitat losses which we feel should be discussed in the final state- <br />ment, <br /> <br />A s stated, the overall statement is objective and we appreciate <br />being given the opportunity. for review. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br /> <br />JRG:cs <br />cc: H.
