Show The necessary powerlines for construction and operation of the dam and appurtenant works have been constructed. Several miles of UoS. Highway 40 have been relocated and opened to traffic, and sections of the old highway would be inundated. A Forest Service guard station and garage will require relocation. Temporary permits at the existing fishing cabin developments will not be renewed. Since These developments are substandard and sanitation problems exist, they will not be relocated. However, studies would be made to determine whether or not replacement sites would be made available for development and to determine possible locations of such sites. Adherence to prescribed standards relating to environment and sanitation would be required for any such development. Two different types of campgrounds which would conform to higher standards are envisioned. One would be located close to the highway and designed for overnight and weekend visits, and the other type would be located in more isolated areas and intended for longer vacation stays. A trash fish eradication program, primarily for the Utah chub ( Gila atraria), is scheduled to be conducted in mid- July on the section of the Strawberry River between Soldier Creek Dam and the existing reservoir. The water would be chemically treated with the toxicant rotenone, and the water area over Stinking Springs would be blasted with a grid of dynamite to dislodge and kill any fish seeking refuge in the springs. The eradication program would be conducted by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. An environmental assessment of the program would be prepared by the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife prior to its implementation. 61 |
