Lower Colorado River Basin - Onion Creek<br />
Flood Damage Reduction and Ecosystem Restoration Project<br />
Significance <strong>of</strong> Environmental Resources<br />
Concern: The district needs to clarify how the riparian restoration directly and<br />
indirectly benefits the animals closely associated with the streams in the project<br />
area to support the proposal and reduce the possible perception that the riparian<br />
zone provides largely terrestrial habitat outputs.<br />
Reason: The issue raised in this comment stems from the very strong emphasis placed<br />
on the restoration <strong>of</strong> aquatic ecosystems in the 29 July 2005 memorandum from<br />
ASA(CW) John Paul Woodley, and the equally strong statement that terrestrial<br />
restoration should play a very limited role in <strong>Corps</strong> projects.<br />
Resolution: The District added a discussion about the benefits <strong>of</strong> the proposed<br />
restoration in the final report in the Aquatic Resource Section<br />
Resolution Impact: Resolved<br />
