Show Table 1. Continued. Possible use Desired system characteristic related to use FARMINGTON BAY Some possible methods of achieving the desired system characteristic Areas which may be negatively influenced by implementation of the method ( impact areas) Some social use areas which may be affected Information needed to understand the system characteristic of areas of influence I. Recreation and Tourism A. Power Boating 1. Sufficient area and depth a. Control the outflow of the lake Alteration of the biological habitat Wildlife, Brine Shrimp, Recreation 00 2. Fresh water ( low TDSa) a. Control outflow b. Control the inflow of lake brine Same as I. A. I. a. Same as LA. 1. a. c. Control the inflow of high Restricts the flow through the salinity water from the marshlands rivers ( selected inflow by diversion) 3. Minimum safety hazards a. Provide navigational charts b. Minimum floating debris Collection problems Wildlife, Recreation 4. Supporting facilities 5. Low algae content a. Dredge harbors b. Construct breakwaters Disturbance of benthic deposits a. Control point and non- point Government regulation sources of nutrient input b. Control disturbing the benthic deposits Restrict use by power boating or other uses which create turbulent conditions Recreation aTDS is total dissolved solids. The required depth and surface area for various use intensities. The surface area to be expected under various inflow conditions. The component of the water balance. The TDSa to be expected under various inflow conditions. The input of lake brine under present conditions and methods to control this input. The required quantity and quality of flow through the marshlands to maintain a productive environment. The quality of the present inflow. Facilities required under various use intensities. The present point and non- point sources of nutrient input. The present extent of benthic deposits. The present natural disturbance of the deposits by wind and wave action. |
