Show 25 second- feet to Rock Creek at Upper Stillwater Dam. 8 second- feet to the West Fork of the Duchesne River at Vat Diversion Dam. 6 second- feet to Currant Creek at Currant Creek Dam. 12 second- feet to Strawberry River at Soldier Creek Dam. 45 second- feet to Duchesne River at Knight Diversion Dam. 1/ 1/ This recommendation was later withdrawn when the site for Knight Diversion Dam was moved 2 miles downstream from its original location. Minimum release recommendations were also determined by the Forest Service for those important Uinta Basin fisheries located within the boundary of the National forests. These recommendations are as follows: 20 second- feet to Rock Creek at Upper Stillwater Dam. 3 second- feet to Wolf Creek at Rhodes Diversion Dam. 8 second- feet to West Fork of the Duchesne River at Vat Diversion Dam. 5 second- feet to Currant Creek at Currant Creek Dam. The method of determining the minimum releases recommended by the State of Utah consisted of examining the long- term records of historical flow obtained by the U. S. Geological Survey and making the recommendations correspond to the average minimum flows recorded at or near the location of Unit features. 120 The method used by the Forest Service to evaluate Bonneville Unit streams consisted of a modification of a line transect technique designed to estimate selected fish 1 OR habitat characteristics. The parameters measured included stream width, depth, pools, riffles, bottom composition, bank stability, strearnside vegetation, channel gradient, and stream length. The published data for the Bonneville Unit streams were primarily collected in 1962. Data from the two stations located on Upper Rock Creek were obtained in 1963 and 1964. 285 |
