• Description:
  "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).
