<br />'" <br />,,,.. <br /> <br />t", <br /> <br />Wildlife wetland habitat and wildlife upland habitat management <br />assistance would be augmented by cost-sharing installation. Wetlands <br />influenced by onfam water managlllll4mt are located below the irrigated <br />fields and adjacent to Virgin River. About ten acres or riparian wet- <br />land habitat would be enhanced by increued flow of Virgin River. H0w- <br />ever, a net wetland loss would occur immediately below the irrigated <br />fields due ~o reduced return flow and deep percolation. This alternative <br />would have no measurable impact on the woulcifin fish in Virgin River. <br />See Appendix A. Fish Rabitat. Upland wildlife habitat area improved <br />would have a 16 acra-value. <br /> <br />Land modification would not result from repair of the irrigation <br />delivery system, so that cultural resources would not be disturbed. <br /> <br />,. <br /> <br />Monitoring of program effectiveness is included in the technical <br />assistance and automation costs. Installation of shallow wells to observe <br />and measure groundwater for quality and quantity is a part of the pro- <br />posed program. Collection of ground water data at the proposed Riverside, <br />Nevada WPRS barrier project is assumed to continue. <br /> <br />44 <br /> <br />OOG3C3 <br />
