The Level II Feasibility Study is intended to provide engineering and economic analyses by which the Cody Canal Irrigation District, Lakeview Irrigation District, Municipal Water Development Association {MWDA}, and Wyoming Water Development Commission can evaluate the merits of the projects and if found feasible, pursue Level m design funding from the Wyoming State Legislature. It should be noted that the information provided in this Project Status Report is preliminary in nature in that it has not been reviewed in detail by the Wyoming Water Development Commission staff, nor has a complete "in-house" Montgomery Engineers review been conducted. Detailed review has also not been provided by the sponsoring irrigation districts and communities. The Project Status Report is, however, a detailed and comprehensive summary of a preliminary draft Lakeview Level II Report and draft Shoshone Level II Technical Memoranda which has been reviewed by WWDC staff. WWDC/MWDA/Irrigation Districts negotiations and discussions relative to project funding and implementation will be initiated in the near future and final Level II Feasibility Reports completed. The Project Status Report is divided into three sections: Section I: Brief Executive Summary of key information on both the Shoshone and Lakeview Projects PLANNING ... RESEARCH ...

Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) conducted a baseline inventory of trace elements at proposed mitigation sites and existing wetlands within the Shoshone Project for the Great Plains Region of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Mitigation proposed for wetland losses attributed to the Shoshone Rehabilitation and Betterment Project consists of wetland creation or enhancement within the project area. The quality of irrigation drainage and its effects on fish and wildlife are potential concerns with the existing project. The two sediment samples collected from a large alkali flat near Deaver Reservoir had elevated selenium concentrations (12 and 13 ug/g dry weight).
