The Sierra
Club has registered its opposition to the China Meadows Dam and Reservoir
Project on the north slope of Utah's Uinta Mountains, and has criticized the
environmental impact statement prepared by the Bureau of Reclamation as
"seriously deficient". In comments submitted to the Bureau, David C. Raskin,
Uinta Chapter vice-chairman, urged that no further action be taken until a
complete re-appraisal of the project and its alternatives, including
abandonment, is undertaken. The reservoir, Proposed as part of the Lyman
irrigation project, would inundate China Meadows, destroying much of its
recreational potential and causing serious damage to wildlife
habitat. |
