Show The road to the Upper Stillwater Reservoir site is within the Lower Stillwater Reservoir basin and would be relocated. The National Park Service has prepared a reservoir recreation development plan. A suggested relocation alinement for this road and an access road across the dam that would avoid the proposed recreation development are included in their plan. The National Park Service recommends that power and telephone lines be located adjacent to the relocated roads, while the Forest Service recommends that they be buried along the shoulder of the road. Borrow areas for Lower Stillwater Dam would be located below the dam axis on fairly flat terrain. The nearest source of riprap for Lower Stillwater Dam appears to be along Rock Creek channel upstream from the reservoir basin. Limestone rock outcrops exist about 5 miles upstream from the damsite. No specific location has been selected. Several gravel sources in the area have been sampled, but their suitability has not yet been determined. Good quality sand may be difficult to locate and would likely be hauled from commercial sources near Duchesne. If gravel, sand, and riprap of suitable quality and sufficient quantity can be located in the vicinity of either Upper or Lower Stillwater Damsites, these sources would be used for both dams and the concrete aggregate could be used for lining Stillwater Tunnel. Figure A- 37 shows proposed borrow areas and recreation sites. ( 3) Development of Wildlife Management Areas on Ute Tribal Lands As part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs Activity, Ute Tribal authorities have selected six waterfowl areas for future development and management. The waterfowl areas would occupy Indian lands located along Duchesne River between Ouray and Bridgeland. A sketch map showing locations and acreages is presented in Figure A- 38. Development and management would require dikes, water- control structures, and fencing in all six areas. In addition, land clearing would be required in areas No. 1 and No. 3, diversion structures in areas No. 1 and No. 2, and buildings and equipment in area No. 1. When developed, these areas would mitigate waterfowl losses attributable to the Bonneville Unit in the Uinta Basin and would provide additional hunting benefits for waterfowl and pheasant. Recreation and Fish and Wildlife Recreational facilities would be provided by the Bonneville Unit at Utah Lake and at Strawberry, Starvation, Jordanelle, Hayes, and Mona Reservoirs. In addition, the Forest Service plans to provide 108 |
