     Publication Name   An Assessment of Chief Joseph Dam-Unit to 27 Project Impacts and their Mitigation and Compensation by

                                 Means of the Habitat Unit Evaluation Procedure

                         ID #   118

                   Authors   Fielder, Paul C.

       Publication Date   September 1977

            Produced By   Chelan County PUD, Fish and Wildlife Operations - Wenatchee, WA

                Summary   A ten-foot pool raise of the Chief Joseph Dam's storage pool inundated 443 acres of shoreline habitat, 173

                                 acres of critical island habitat, and reduced the free flowing, upstream portion of Chief Joseph pool from

                                 eight miles to about 2.25 miles.  The Habitat Unit Evaluation Procedure was used to determine the impacts

                                 to wildlife habitat and the compensation required to correct these impacts.  A team of biologists,

                                 representing all concerned interests in this project, jointly rated habitat types to determine project impacts

                                 and the amount of compensation required.  Aquatic habitat was not evaluated due to limited background

                                 data and the size of Chief Joseph pool, which made the procedure impractical.
