Conclusions <br />The initial step in an antidegradation review is to determine whether the dischazge is likely to <br />result in significant degradation of the receiving water. This determination is made using the <br />three approaches described previously. If any one of these three approaches results in a <br />conclusion that the discharge will not result in significant degradation of the receiving stream, <br />the antidegradation review is satisfied. <br />Water deliveries from the EPR do not satisfy [he flow-and-volume approach, but both the <br />baseline available increment approach and the temporary or short-term dischazge approach are <br />satisfied. Therefore, the water deliveries can be considered not to result in significant <br />degradation of water quality in the East Fork of the Eagle River. Further, the capability of the <br />EPR water deliveries to increase streamflow during low-flow periods, and to contribute <br />additional sources of food to help support aquatic populations in the East Fork and mainstem of <br />the Eagle River, aze benefits that should be considered. <br />8601631.005 0101 0501 0380 <br />pboulderl Wata~yrojeds\194]_climax\epr raport_2.doc <br />
