Description:"This final EA describes NMFSs evaluation of effects of approving the four HGMPs under Limit 5 of the ESA 4(d) rule for programs artificially propagating the Lower Columbia River (LCR) Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU), LCR Coho Salmon (O. kisutch) ESU, and LCR Steelhead (O. mykiss) Distinct Population Segment (DPS). NMFS has conducted this environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act in support of evaluating the authorization of the hatchery programs under Limit 5 of the 4(d) rule. The EA evaluates the environmental consequences of alternative actions for approving ODFW's artificial propagation of LCR spring Chinook salmon, LCR coho salmon, and LCR winter steelhead. The analysis of alternatives and consequences will inform NMFS decision regarding approval of the four HGMPs. The species whose take would be authorized by NMFS approval include the threatened ESUs of LCR Chinook salmon, LCR coho salmon, and Columbia River chum salmon (O. keta), and the threatened DPSs of LCR steelhead (O. mykiss), and Pacific Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus)"--Executive summary (page 7).
