Box 13087, Capitol Station <br />Austin, Texas 78711 <br /> <br />Re: Specific Problem Analysis Summary Report; 1975 National Water <br />Assessment - Rio Grande Region <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Rose: <br /> <br />Reference is made to the draft technical memorandum, referenced above, <br />dated June 1977. You requested that this agency review the draft and <br />provide comments by August 8, 1977. <br /> <br />It is noted that the draft, on pages 13 and 79, makes reference to <br />delays or obstructions to \~ater resource projects caused by "uncertain <br />and vacillating environmental program administration." Although the <br />draft does not identify the source of these problems, it would be well <br />to mention that many projects are planned without proper consideration <br />of the effects of those projects on fish and wildlife resources. <br />The 1 ack of adequate pl anni ng can-and does-result in delays in constructi on <br />of these projects. <br /> <br />The draft shoul d al so mention that projects which incorporate adequate <br />provisions for fish and wildlife resources in the planning stages do <br />not experience undue delays in implementation. <br /> <br /> <br />and comment upon this document is appreciated. <br /> <br />(1u::n 8 <br /> <br />89 <br />
