<br /> <br />Wetlands - Minimal impact will occur with periodic type <br />changes due to the presence of sediment basins. <br /> <br />Wildlife Habitat - Quality enhanced. <br /> <br />with project action, sound resource management practices <br />will be implemented on a broader scale than they are presently. <br />As these practices are implemented, it is anticipated that the <br />range and grazeable woodland (Resource Base) within the watershed <br />will ,improve. <br /> <br />The economy of the area is heavily dependent on agriculture. <br />with the improved resource base within the watershed, the economy <br />is expected to expand. <br /> <br />As the economy expands there will be some resource <br />depletion. The depletion will be in the form of energy, labor <br />and materials, all .of which are irretrievable. <br /> <br />Major Conolusions: <br /> <br />The life of Trinidad Lake will be increased due to decreased <br />sediment loading and a significant improvement in its water <br />quality will be realized. In addition, the land resource base <br />will be maintained or improved. The expected project benefits <br />exceed the costs of the planned treatment. <br /> <br />6 <br />
