Common use of Importance Clause in Contracts

Importance. Construction of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Draw Dam in 1984 blocked native fish passage in the White River, including Colorado pikeminnow migration. However, adult Colorado pikeminnow occupy the White River downstream of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Draw Dam near Rangely, Colorado, in relatively high numbers. Adult Colorado pikeminnow residing in the White River are known to spawn in the Green and Yampa rivers. However, in 2011, researchers documented for the first time razorback suckers and Colorado pikeminnow spawning in the White River (▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2013). Juvenile and subadult Colorado pikeminnow also utilize the White River on a year-round basis. Incidental captures of razorback sucker have been recorded in the lower White River. A passive integrated antenna array near the Bonanza Bridge (installed September 2012) demonstrated that razorback sucker and Colorado pikeminnow use the Utah portion of the White River in higher numbers than previously thought. The White River within Utah appears to be a stronghold for native fishes and management efforts in this basin should strive to preserve this feature of the river (▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2009, 2010). However, a recent expansion of smallmouth bass in the White River is a cause for concern for this native fish stronghold.
