Description:The Corps proposes to authorize a 3-year extension of Santa Clara Valley Water District's Stream Maintenance Program (SMP). The types of activities include bank stabilization, sediment removal, vegetation management, management of animal conflict, minor maintenance, stream dewatering, and fish relocation. The SMP includes installing instream habitat complexity projects as compensatory mitigation. NMFS concurred with the Corps that the proposed action would not likely adversely affect sDPS green sturgeon and their critical habitat. NMFS concluded that the proposed action would likely adversely affect, but not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of CCC and SCCC steelhead and would not adversely modify their critical habitat. Take of listed juvenile CCC steelhead and SCCC steelhead may occur during fish relocation and dewatering. The number of CCC steelhead and SCCC steelhead that may be incidentally taken during dewatering activities is expected to be small, and limited to the pre-smolt and young-of-year juvenile life stage. NMFS expects that no more than 3 percent of juvenile CCC and SCCC steelhead within the dewatered area will be injured, harmed, or killed during fish relocation and dewatering activities.
