<br />. <br /> <br />308\1 <br /> <br />were adopted. Since the Project will add much better <br />quality water to the system, no problems with the standards <br />are anticipated. <br /> <br />24, Where water and land meet, some erosion of the loosely structured <br />soil will occur, particularly where lake areas are exposed to <br />motor boat and wind wave action. Turbidity will occur at the <br />interface of land and water. It will diminish as daily motor <br />boat and wind activity are reduced, and conversely, erosion <br />will increase when activity increases. Suspended material will <br />settle to the bottom. Erosion of the shoreline is expected to <br />diminish as the reservoir matures because the waves will en- <br />counter resistant rock formations. <br /> <br />D. Mitigating Measures and Air and Water Quality Aspects <br /> <br />1. A permanent pool of initially 30,000 acre-feet covering 1.290 <br />acres will be provided for fishing and general recreation use. <br />The reservoir capacity and surface acreage will diminish as <br />sedimentation occurs. (See Figure 3 for 50 and 100-year <br />capaci ties. ) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. Increased summer flows will enhance the aesthetics and increase <br />the desirability for public use of the green belt area along <br />the 6-mile reach of the Arkansas River between Pueblo Dam and <br />the City of Pueblo. <br /> <br />3. Management of wildlife habitat around Pueblo Reservoir will be <br />geared toward the mitigation of 9 miles of riparian wildlife <br />habitat to be lost by inundation, as well as toward enhancement <br />of wildlife habitat and populations, particularly waterfowl. <br />However, mule deer populations may decrease even with manage- <br />ment and additional habitat. Food and cover for waterfowl will <br />accommodate more ducks and geese for resting on the reservoir '. <br />during their annual migrations. Waterfowl resting areas at the <br />reservoir site on the Arkansas River are presently limited. <br />The establishment and development of a State managed wildlife <br />area will enhance wildlife resources and make available increased <br />opportunities for hunting and fishing. <br /> <br />II. During construction, burning will not be allowed. Selected <br />timber will be milled for lumber. Waste, slash and timber not <br />suitable for milling will be chipped for mulch, cut up for <br />firewood, or piled in the head of draws or other suitable loca- <br />tions for wildlife habitat. (See Figure 10 - Slash piles.) <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />411 <br />
