These would most likely fall under Module 3A.Provide spawning habitat for northern pike.Footnotes:a. High, medium, and low energy designations were developed by Anchor-QEA in the Wind/Wave Analysis from the Capping and Dredge Area and Depth Technical Document (Parsons, 2009).b. Selection of modules for specific areas around the lake will consider the presence/occurrence of invasive species.c. Diversity of species for benthos will be evaluated during the next phase of design.d. See representative species Tables 4.1 to 4.7 for substrate depth and minimum habitat size information for specific organisms.e. Structure can be added to any module. Species that would benefit from structure have been noted on the table.f. A habitat layer will not be required in areas of the Profundal zone that do not have an isolation cap.P:\Honeywell -SYR\445112 - Habitat and CPP III\09 Reports\9.2 Revised Habitat Plan\Tables\Table ES.1 12-09.docPage 4 of 4
