"The Aquatic Baseline Data Accumulation Program is designed to incorporate the environmental studies described in the Federal Register, Volume 39, Number 230, Part 3, Oil Shale Lease Environmental Stipulations and in the Tract C-a Exploratory Plan of May 1974. The overall objective for the aquatic program is to characterize the existing aquatic ecological communities in the vicinity of Tract C-a. These baseline studies will inventory the aquatic habitats which may be affected by the development of oil shale on and round Tract C-a; and will allow the determination of species composition, productivity, importance to man, and relative uniqueness of aquatic habitats and species. The aquatic baseline program includes the collection and analysis of field data and on-going survey of pertinent literature. Since most of the streams on and near Tract C-a are intermittent and since most of the permanent aquatic ecosystems occur off tract, characterization of the permanent streams will be emphasized"--Leaf 1.
