Environmental Assessment--FY 1979 Winter Navigation Demonstration on the St. Lawrence River--Technical Reports: Volume II; TR-M. Mammal and Furbearer Studies During the Winter of 1978.

Abstract

While the proposed FY 1979 Demonstration will probably create negative impacts to mammal populations in much the same manner as an an extension of the navigation season, we do not believe the effect will be as severe. However, should the influence of the Demonstration extend beyond the Corridor through the water level-induced or related changes, major negative consequences to mammalian populations would likely result.
