Question - What changes will occur in hunting opportunities? <br /> <br />Answer <br /> <br />5. Question <br /> <br />Answer <br /> <br />- With mitigation it is expected there would be no <br />significant reduction in big game hunting opportun- <br />ities. Sage grouse hunting opportunities could be <br />reduced. Small game, such as rabbits, could increase. <br /> <br />Will recreational housing development be stimulated <br />by the project? <br /> <br />- There is little potential in the Sandstone Reservoir <br />area. It is more likely at Pot Hook Reservoir <br />because of the larger minimum pool and more scenic <br />area. <br /> <br />6. Question - What are the estimated annual costs and benefits for <br />the recreation areas? <br /> <br />Answer <br /> <br />Annual Cost <br />Annual Benefits <br /> <br />Pot Hook Reservoir <br />$23,200 <br />37,500 <br /> <br />Sandstone Reservoir <br />$13,000 <br />20,250 <br /> <br />7. Question - What are the impacts to be expected from increased <br />recreational use? <br /> <br />Answer <br /> <br />- Minimal impacts are expected, <br /> <br />Increased use is expected to be relatively low and <br />primarily from the local area. <br /> <br />Off-road vehicular use would be controlled by strategic <br />placing of access roads and fencing of most of the <br />right-of-way. <br /> <br />2 <br />
