This book was released on 2012 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This final EA describes our evaluation of effects of our proposed issuance of two ESA section 10(a)(1)(A) permits for programs artificially propagating the Snake River fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU). NMFS has conducted this environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in support of evaluating the permit applications under section 10 of the ESA. The EA evaluates the environmental consequences of alternative actions for issuing incidental take permits to WDFW, IDFG, and the BIA for artificial propagation of Snake River fall Chinook salmon. The analysis of alternatives and consequences will inform NMFS's decision regarding issuance of these section 10 permits. The species whose take would be authorized by these permits include the threatened Evolutionarily Significant Units of Snake River fall Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) and Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), the threatened Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of Snake River basin steelhead (O. mykiss), and the endangered ESU of Snake River sockeye salmon (O. nerka)"--Executive summary (page 1).

This book was released on 2014 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is applying for an Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 10(a)(1)(A) permit for activities related to the coho program at Iron Gate Hatchery (IGH). The ESA Section 10 application incorporates a Hatchery and Genetic Management Plan (HGMP) developed by CDFW and PacifiCorp. Through implementation of this HGMP, and issuance of the ESA Section 10 permit, the coho program at Iron Gate Hatchery will be operated to conserve listed species. The HGMP covers activities related to the artificial production of coho salmon at IGH for the period 2014-2024. This includes the interim period until mainstem Klamath River dams of the Klamath Hydroelectric Project (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Project No. 2082) are anticipated to be removed (2020) pursuant to the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement (K.HSA). Under the HGMP, an active broodstock management plan, based on real-time genetic analysis, will be implemented each year to reduce inbreeding. The broodstock will consist of 20 to 50 percent natural origin coho salmon to increase population diversity and fitness. Hatchery culture practices will be improved to increase egg-to-smolt survival rates. The increase in survival will be achieved by improving egg incubation conditions and covering raceways with netting (completed in 2011) to reduce bird predation on juveniles. Egg incubation conditions will be investigated to identify measures that will further improve survival. There are several potential sources of take associated with the IGH coho salmon program including, take associated with the collection of coho salmon spawners at IGH, incidental take associated with monitoring and evaluation activities to enumerate natural origin and hatchery origin coho spawning escapement in streams associated with the Upper Klamath Population unit, and trapping of juvenile coho in Bogus Creek. These levels of take are not anticipated to increase the risk of extinction or cause jeopardy to any of the coho salmon populations in the action area. These levels of take represent a decrease in the quantity of adult coho salmon being used for broodstock annually, and will provide an overall beneficial effect on the Upper Klamath population unit by allowing more adult coho salmon to spawn naturally. Monitoring and evaluation of information gathered through programs proposed in the HGMP are expected to improve the likelihood for effective application of management measures addressing human-caused factors for decline of the listed coho salmon population. Application of these measures should help protect and increase coho abundance and productivity in the Klamath Basin. Increases in coho salmon abundance and productivity are likely under the HGMP, and will potentially lead to the timely recovery of the population, and subsequent resumption of conservation-based fisheries when viable, self-sustaining coho salmon returns are re-established"--Cover letter summary.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) on the effects of two Fishery Management and Evaluation Plans (FMEPs) from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), one Tribal Resource Management Plan (TRMP) form the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR), and one TRMP from the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (SBT) was released by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for a 30-day public comment period on August 11, 2011 (76 FR 49735). Since the draft EA was published, ODFW modified the Grande Ronde River FMEP to include fisheries managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) in the Washington State portion of the Grande Ronde River (ODFW 2012), the CTUIR provided clarifications regarding their original TRMP (CTUIR 2012), and the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) submitted to NMFS a TRMP for the Grande Ronde and Imnaha Rivers (NPT 2012). NMFS considered these changes, clarifications and new TRMP to be substantial new information warranting additional information in the NEPA analysis, and warranting further public review. Consequently, NMFS prepared this Draft Supplemental Environmental Assessment to address the following: Inclusion of spring/summer Chinook salmon Fisheries in the Washington State portion of the Grande Ronde River to be managed by WDFW; Clarification by the CTUIR on their original spring/summer Chinook salmon Fisheries TRMP in the Imnaha and Grande Ronde River subbasins; A spring/summer Chinook salmon Fisheries TRMP in the Imnaha and Grande Ronde River subbasins submitted by the NPT"--Executive summary (page 7).

This book was released on 2010 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The current EA analyzed the effects of the proposed green sturgeon research, which will be conducted in Oregon and Washington. Specifically, the funded work would be used to: establish a cooperative coast-wide biotelemetry, tag, and biological data interchange system; characterize important habitats with potential threats by studying fine scale spatial distribution and movement patterns of sturgeon; design, evaluate and implement an approach to estimate coast-wide abundance and survival of Southern and Northern DPS green sturgeon; and develop a Fisheries Management and Evaluation Plan for Washington coastal fisheries not covered by an ESA Section 7(a)(2) Biological Opinion that meets NMFS criteria for exemptions from take in the ESA 4(d) rule. Data gathered in this project will be critical for recovery planning by providing a reference from which recovery and impacts can be measured. The proposed action analyzed in the EA would not have significant environmental effects on the target or non-target species; public health and safety would not affected; no unique geographic area would be affected; and the effects ofthis study would not be highly uncertain, nor would they involve unique or unknown risks. Issuance ofthis award would not set a precedent for future actions with significant effects, nor would it represent a decision in principle about a future consideration. There would not be individually insignificant but cumulatively significant impacts associated with the proposed action, and there would not be adverse effects on historic resources. The award would contain mitigating measures to avoid unnecessary stress to the subject animals"--Cover letter summary.
