Common use of PROJECT IMPACTS Clause in Contracts

PROJECT IMPACTS. Existing fish or wildlife resources the project could substantially adversely affect within and downstream of the project area without implementation of the conditions contained within this Agreement include: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), coho salmon (O. kisutch), steelhead trout (O. mykiss), Southern Torrent Salamander (Rhyacotriton variegatus), other game and non-game fishes, other amphibians and reptiles, aquatic invertebrates, mammals, birds, and other aquatic and riparian species. The adverse effects the project could have on the fish or wildlife resources identified above include:  increased water temperature due to lower flows instream;  change in dissolved oxygen; and  water quality degradation.  stranding of fish or hindering fish passage;  entrapment in isolated pools due to loss of water surface elevation downstream;  direct impacts on benthic organisms;  change in flow depth, width or velocity;  habitat fragmentation below diversion;  impediment of up- or down-stream migration;  damage to aquatic habitat and function;  direct and/or incidental take;  indirect impacts including potential impacts to downstream coho salmon summer rearing habitat  increased turbidity during sediment removal and/or instream activities; and  relocation of stream channel or change in channel form.
