Completion Report Salmon River S-11/12 and S-13/14 Irrigation Diversion and Fish Screen Consolidation Project, Upper Salmon Subbasin, Salmon, Idaho

摘要

The primary objective of this project was to implement actions to improve the passage of adult and juvenile salmon and steelhead in the Salmon River. The Salmon River provides habitat for several species of fish listed as either threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), as well as resident fish. Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA requires that all Federal agencies consult with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrative Fisheries Services (NOAA Fisheries), or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), to ensure that any action authorized, funded, or carried out by such agency is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or threatened species or result in adversely modifying their critical habitat. NOAA Fisheries oversees the implementation of the ESA for certain listed species including anadromous salmon and steelhead.
