Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 66 / Monday, April 7, 1997 / Notices 16603

U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s 1990 Final

Supplement to the Final Environmental

Impact Statement, Diamond Fork

System, and now binding upon the

Mitigation Commission, to restore flows

in the upper Strawberry River that have

been historically diverted by the DIC,

and to provide the mandated

replacement water supply. Of principal

significance, the selected alternative

will fulfill the mandates of CUPCA and

the environmental commitment by:

improving the efficiency of delivering

CUP agricultural and municipal and

industrial water stored in Jordanelle

Reservoir; conserving water and

improving water management in the

Heber Valley; supplementing instream

flows in some Heber Valley streams;

protecting the water rights of

downstream users; and minimizing

adverse impacts on groundwater,

wetlands and other environmental

resources.

During preparation of the FEIS,

CUWCD consulted formally on listed

species with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (FWS) under § 7 of the

Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.A.

sections 1531 to 1544, as amended). In

a letter dated January 14, 1997, the FWS

indicated that the Proposed Action

Alternative selected by this ROD is not

likely to adversely affect listed or

proposed species or designated or

proposed critical habitats. CUWCD and

Interior will continue to consult with

FWS prior to and during construction to

avoid action that may affect proposed or

listed species, or their proposed or

designated critical habitat.
