Book Description
The Dworshak Project, located on the North Fork of the Clearwater River, in Clearwater County, Idaho, was authorized in Public Law 87-874, approved October 23, 1962. Navigation, power and recreation are contributors to the project purposes. Construction began on the 86.3 km (53.6 mi) long lake early in 1963, and the dam was closed on September 27, 1971. The project includes a 6,644 ha (16,417 ac) lake (at full pool) and 13,161 ha (32,521 ac) of fee lands located above the normal full pool. The project-associated wildlife habitat loss of 6,071 ha (15,000 ac) was expected to create serious losses to wildlife populations. Mitigation planning emphasized winter browse development primarily to benefit elk. An early recommendation for fee acquisition of 4,856 ha (12,000 ac) was later altered to a request for fee acquisition of only 1,059 ha (2,616 ac). All remaining elk mitigation needs were to be realized via management agreements. By 1966, the planners agreed that acquisition of at least a 2,024 ha (5,000 ac) 'hard-core' area of elk winter range was required. The management agreements on approximately 14,165 ha (35,000 ac) proved unsatisfactory to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) and in 1972, the year the lake filled, the agency resubmitted a formerly proposed (1960) request for fee acquisition of lands located on Smith Ridge.

Book Description
"The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District (Corps) is proposing to implement a long-term nutrient supplementation program at the Dworshak Dam and Reservoir Project on the North Fork of the Clearwater River near Ahsahka, Idaho. The Corps manages the reservoir and surrounding lands for multiple purposes including recreation and fish and wildlife habitat/mitigation. This nutrient supplementation program would address biological productivity in the reservoir and assist with the management of certain undesirable blue-green algae that adversely affect reservoir fisheries and interfere with public use of the reservoir. This environmental assessment (EA) addresses potential environmental effects associated with the proposed action and any reasonable alternatives. As required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and subsequent implementing regulations promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality, this assessment is being prepared to determine whether the proposed action constitutes a "major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment..." and whether an environmental impact statement is required."--Introduction (page 1).

Book Description
This book discusses the environmental impact of water resources projects. Information from literature related to the implementation of studies on water resources projects such as dams and reservoirs, channelization, and dredging are summarized. Other topics covered are methodologies, transport, and decision-making.

Book Description
Fish and wildlife resources associated with the Ice Harbor Lock and Dam project have been the object of active planning at various times over a period of nearly 20 years. Over the years, the perceived importance of fish and wildlife resources has been upgraded dramatically. This evolution in the perception of fish and wildlife values is manifest in the recorded documentation of the Ice Harbor Lock and Dam project. Detailed and comprehensive recommendations were presented by the affected federal fish and wildlife agencies (FWS and NMFS) in a special compensation report released in 1972. These currently proposed compensation actions relate to fish and wildlife resources associated with all four lock-and-dam projects constructed by the CE on the lower Snake River, including Ice Harbor. While vastly improved over the 1959 document, the current report contains significant errors pertaining to project-related hunting predictions and to the actions recommended to compensate for the lost resident fishery.

Book Description
The December 19, 1961, FWS planning report contained three well conceived recommendations pertinent to wildlife resources, viz: (1) a request for development of a plan to accommodate project zoning, (2) that all project lands acquired be clearly marked, and (3) that an approximate 3,701 ha (9,145 ac) contiguous tract located on the Cimarron arm of the reservoir be purchased in fee, fenced at project expense, and licensed to the ODWC for wildlife management purposes. The recommendation for a zoning plan was subsequently implemented and lands off limits to hunting have been identified and signed. The CE rejected the FWS's recommendation for the purchase of the requested tract on the Cimarron arm of the reservoir because of unfavorable cost-benefit ratio (0.1) as computed by the CE. In 1974 a total of 6,273 ha (15,500 ac) of incidentally acquired project property (including 4,970 ha (12,280 ac) of land and 1,303 ha (3,220 ac)of water), divided between the Cimarron and Arkansas River arms of the reservoir, was licensed to the ODWC for wildlife management. In all, 6,274 ha (15,504 ac) of project lands are open to public hunting. The severe terrestrial wildlife losses anticipated by the FWS did not occur. Hunting effort currently supported by the project is greater than the FWS estimated hunting levels for resident terrestrial game species predicted for the area without-the-project. However, compensation has been achieved only as a result of intensive management involving substantial monetary outlays by the ODWC for fencing and habitat improvement programs.
