<br />~";"1 <br /> <br />Ohio Creek is a poor fishery at present, however, the proposed storage <br />site is on the Castle Creek tributary which is a good brook trout fishery <br />at present. The reservoi rs proposed for the Tomi ch i and Ohi 0 Creek <br />sub-basins should develop into good fisheries and the proposed streamflow <br />enhancement downstream of these reservoirs should result in an improved <br />stream fishery below the dams. The Cochetopa basin facility on the other <br />hand is projected to experience fluctuations of a magnitude that may not <br />produce a good fishery nor does it have sufficient hydrologic yield to <br />meet target streamflow enhancement but does improve historical streamflow <br />signlficantly. <br /> <br />~ <br />.J <br />Co\} <br />"" <br /> <br />Altel'native No. 3 is a combination of Alternatives 1 and 2 and will <br />exhibit the positive and negative impacts of both alternatives. <br /> <br />Altel'native No. 4 combines a portion of <br />in-basin reservoirs of Alternative No.2. <br />alternative would be very similar to <br />recreation benefits would be reduced. <br /> <br />A lternat i ve 1 with the three <br />Environmental impacts of this <br />those of Alternative 3 and <br /> <br />Alternative No. 5 is similar to 4 except the Upper Cochetopa reservoir <br />has not been included. The Upper Cochetopa reservoir has a relatively <br />high' potential impact on stream fisheries and relatively low recreation <br />potential. Therefore, this plan should have similar benefits and fewer <br />environmental problems than Alternative 4. <br /> <br />Alternative 6 is similar to 4 except only one in-basin reservoir located <br />in the Upper Tomichi area would be constructed. Fishery and recreation <br />benefits associated with the Ohio Creek facility would be foregone. Of <br />most significance would be the loss of the opportunity to improve Ohio <br />Creek streamflows. <br /> <br />Two potential financing mechanisms were identified that may be able to <br />provide revenue to assist with repayment of the in-basin development plans. <br />These are the Needle Point No. 3 pumped-storage project and the Taylor Park <br /> <br />$-9 <br />
