The State- recommended streamflow bypasses to maintain a stream fishery in the various streams would be met. This would reduce the adverse impact on the streams, but would result in less water being exported to the Bonneville Basin, as indicated in the description of this alternative- thereby reducing the impacts associated with irrigating new land and delaying impacts associated with increased population along the Wasatch Front. d- » Proposed Plan With Nondevelopment of Provo Bay and Recommended Minimum Fishery Flows ( l) Description of the Alternative This alternative plan is a combination of two previously described alternatives: " Proposed Plan with Recommended Minimum Fishery Flows," ( par. 3c) and " Proposed Plan With Nondevelopment of Provo Bay," ( par. 3a). Under this alternative the minimum flows for fishery purposes recommended by the Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources would be satisfied, with a resulting decrease of 24,300 acre- feet annually in diversions to Strawberry Reservoir. The effect of this bypass on the Uinta Basin portion of the proposed plan would be the same as previously described in paragraph 3c The effect of this alternative on the Bonneville Basin portion would also be the same as described in paragraph 3c, except that nondevelopment of Provo Bay would eliminate the Provo Bay features, plus 1,760 acres of full- service lands in the Mosida area. The nondevelopment of Provo Bay and its effect on the project have been described in paragraph 3a. The features of this alternative are shown in Figure H- lU". 567 |
