The Environmental Focus Group was asked to provide an opinion on the potential of ski area expansion onto Snodgrass Mountain. We considered the following potential environmental impacts, which were identified in environmental assessments of previous proposals: > > > > Use of East River water for snowmaking and sewage treatment e Impacts to aquatic species due to low water levels e Impacts on stream ecology e Impacts to wetlands Impacts on-site due to increased human activity e Impacts to sensitive species, i.e. tiger salamander e Impacts to habitat and migration corridors of resident fauna impacts on terrain, watershed, and geology e Increased landslide potential due to increased hydration of unstable soils (Mancos shale) from snowmaking and compaction (causes changes in snowmelt rate) e Increased erosion (impact on water quality)
