"Much higher minimum stream flow guarantees are needed to provide safeguards for valuable stream resources on the south slope of the Unita Mountains in the Central Utah Project. The stream resources can't be adequately replaced by flat-water reservoirs because they are two different type of resources," Donald Duff, President, Bonneville Chapter, American Fisheries Society, recently told a meeting of Citizens for a Responsible Central Utah Project. Sharing" the speaker's platform with Leon Colborn, another fisheries biologist belonging to the Chapter, Duff said pro-CUP literature has claimed "enhancement" for outdoor recreation and fish/wildlife benefits in the massive water transfer, but that, "state, federal, and other bi&loslsts in the local chapter of the American Fisheries Society always have been and still are concerned about inadequate flows proposed by CU£-proposed dams on the south slopes of the Unitas. I don't see how, noT does the Society see how, these new dams, of which there are already many others in Utah, will substitute for loss of the impacted _§fereams. Around 50,000 additional acre feet of water annually is needed in the streams to avoid those impacts," he added. |
