licensee filed a revised Shoreline Management Plan (SMP). Since the
1996 order, the licensee requested and was granted additional time to
complete the plan. The plan addresses relevant aspects of the land and
water resources for each of the 11 project reservoirs consisting of
1,653.6 shoreline miles. The plan includes, in part, for each reservoir
Shoreline Use Classification Mapping, Shallow Water Fish Habitat Survey
Results, a Cultural Resources Assessment, a Recreational Use and
Boating Capacity Assessment, Proposed Recreational Enhancements, and
information concerning woody debris management, riparian management,
terrestrial species assessment, and cumulative impacts of shoreline
development, and shoreline stabilization technique selection. A notable
portion of the revised plan has been approved by the Commission by
order issued December 1, 2000, entitled Order Modifying and Approving
Revised Shoreline Management Classification Maps. This order was issued
after notice and opportunity for hearing and after an Environmental
Assessment (EA) was completed. The portions of the plan that were
considered in that order and EA were the classification maps, shoreline
stabilization technique selection, Shallow Water Fish Habitat Survey
Results, and woody debris management.
