<br />7 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />166 and other stakeholders, relating to cultural resources and their association with other <br />167 resources in the Colorado River corridor. The cultural resources program for the GCMRC is <br />168 comprised of three primary components: a core program of monitoring and research <br />169 activities as directed by stakeholders in the AMP, a tribal projects component, and a <br />170 cooperative programming component. Furthermore, the cultural resources program manager <br />171 is responsible for coordination with other program managers to incorporate Native American <br />172 concerns in these programs. <br />173 The objectives and information needs specified by the stakeholders have been <br />174 incorporated into the following general monitoring and research activities proposed in the <br />175 Strategic Plan. <br />176 I. Develop data and monitoring systems to assess impacts. <br />177 2. Develop data to assess risk of damage and loss of cultural resources from varying <br />178 flow regimes and other factors. <br />179 3. Develop tribal monitoring programs for evaluation of impacts to cultural <br />180 resources. <br />181 4. Develop a predictive model of geomorphic processes that are related to <br />182 archaeological site erosion. <br />183 5. Develop mitigation strategies related to documented site impacts and monitoring <br />184 assessments. <br />185 6. Characterize resource values through scientific study. <br />186 <br />187 Socia-economic resources associated with the Colorado River ecosystem include <br />188 recreation, electric power and water. The objectives of recreation monitoring and research <br />189 will be to determine whether recreation is enhanced and safety improved when comparing <br />190 current or proposed dam operations to historical dam operations, and whether wilderness <br />191 changes in recreational patterns resulting from the dam operations have any effect on the <br />192 Canyon's downstream recreation resources. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />. <br />, <br />~. <br />" <br /> <br />c. <br /> <br />" <br />, <br />"I <br /> <br />b, <br /> <br />':~ <br /> <br />~'.~ <br /> <br />, <br />, <br />'~ <br />~ <br />;f. <br /> <br />~'.. <br />.':'i <br />i <br /> <br />~~. <br />~, <br /> <br />.' <br />~,~ <br />:~, <br /> <br />"g <br /> <br />November S. 1998 <br />Second Draft - Do Not Cite, Photocopy, or Distribute <br />
