Possible aquatic habitat degradation Disruption of food chain; reduction in aquatic insect number and diversity through loss of riffle habitat by increased siltation and increased low-flow conditions; reduction in potential for long-term population sustainability

PI

Wildlife and Natural Vegetation

Reduction in available habitat; no impact to Federally listed species Habitat fragmentation; reduction in genetic diversity; reduction in species tolerance; increased dispersal distance to suitable habitat; reduction in potential for long-term population sustainability
