Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An audit of the Bureau of Reclamation's (BoR) final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the operations of the Glen Canyon Dam (GCD). This report discusses: whether BoR's determination of the impact of various dam-operating alternatives on selected resources was reasonable; and what, if any, concerns still exist on the part of key interested parties about the final EIS. Since the GCD, located in Page, AZ, was completed by the BoR in 1963, it has been used to generate power during periods of high demand. The fluctuation releases of water have caused concerns about the detrimental effects such flows have in the Grand Canyon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glen Canyon Environmental Studies Phase II, Vol. 2: Draft Integrated Research Plan Once the needs for new facilities has been verified, managers will identify the type of facility required to meet the recovery goal. Specific designs and site evaluation would then be initiated. Species in the most dire need of protection would be considered early on as candidates for refugia. Based on identified need, refugia classified and ranked according to their efficiency with which protection and preservation of unique qualities may be best accomplished. Sites may be either in situ. Or ex situ, however, implementation strategies will be required to maintain genetic diversity and structure in wild populations when the refugia is out of place.
