E7.1 EXISTING RECREATION RESOURCES AND FACTORS AFFECTING RECREATION RESOURCES Five recreation studies were conducted during relicensing and are presented in the Recreation Resources Final Technical Report (FTR). These studies are as follows: • Recreation Flow Analysis • Recreation Visitor Surveys • Regional Recreation Analysis • Recreation Needs Analysis • Recreation Resource Management Plan (Draft) Annotated Outline The recreation resource study area included all Project-related recreation facilities, sites, and use areas (developed and dispersed undeveloped); Project reservoirs; the Klamath River corridor connecting the Project reservoirs; and a general ¼-mile buffer around each reservoir (Keno reservoir/Lake Ewauna, J.C. Boyle reservoir, Copco reservoir, and Iron Gate reservoir) (Figure E7.1-1). Recreation resources within this study area were categorized into seven resource areas, though the Lower Klamath River Corridor was not analyzed to the same level of detail as the other six resource areas. The seven resource areas are as follows: • Link River/Lake Ewauna/Keno reservoir • J.C. Boyle reservoir • Upper Klamath River/Hell’s Corner reach • Copco reservoir • Iron Gate reservoir • Below Iron Gate dam • Lower Klamath River Corridor © February 2004 PacifiCorp Exhibit E Page 7-2 Exhibit E Recreation Resources.DOC LEGEND #* FISH HATCHERY !( DEVELOPED RECREATION SITE ! ! 21 22 23 DEVELOPED NON-PROJECT 19 20 !
