The Draft ElS/EIR evaluates the direct, Indirect, and cumulative impacts of
the Proposed Protect upon water supply, fisheries, terrestrial
resources-including endangered species, water quality, recreation, visual
and cultural resources, power supply, land use, geology and soils,
transportation and circulation, air quality, noise, and public health and
worker safety.
 Potential impacts of the Proposed Project that have been identified  for
the 14 following resource issues: water supply allocations to some CVP and
SWP water service customers;

short-term elevated construction-related emissions of nitrogen oxides;
limited recreation trail access during project construction; permanent
closure of Auburn At Cool trail through Auburn Dam site; in- (5, increased
recreational parking demand at North Fork/Middle Fork American River
confluence. All other potential environmental impacts of the Proposed
Project would be mitigated to levels considered pr' less-than-significant
through adoption and implenamentation of an Environmental Protection and
Mitigation Measures Plan.
