Consumptive use at the sediment ponds is calculated on the basis of lake <br />evaporation. Estimated annual evaporation from the pond water surface is <br />1.9 acre-feet. Table 21-1 shows the derivation of this figure. This <br />figure is a worst case estimate because it assumes the ponds are always <br />full. <br />HGTI paid a one-time depletion charge to mitigate potential impacts and <br />support recovery activities for the endangered fishes to the National <br />Fish and Wildlife Foundation in September, 1997. <br />The previously outlined procedures will be implemented to minimize disturbances <br />and adverse impacts on fish and wildlife and related environmental values during <br />and after operation of the Laadout facility. Enhancement of these resources will <br />be achieved following reclamation of the facility by restoring the approximate <br />original contour of the land, removal of all structures and barriers (fences and <br />rail lines), and timely revegetation with species compatible with the post- <br />operational land use. Displaced species which have the capacity to exploit the <br />habitat created by reclamation activities will utilize developing reclaimed areas. <br />Additional enhancement activities are considered to be infeasible or impractical <br />due to the limited size of the disturbance area, its configuration, and <br />surrounding land use activities. <br />Literature Cited <br />Avian Power Line Interaction Committee (APLIC), 1994.
