No further NEPA documentation will therefore be made. x is found not to have significant environmental effects as determined by the attached Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact. is found to have significant effects and, therefore, further consideration of this action will require a notice of intent to be published in the Federal Register announcing the decision to prepare an EIS. is not approved because of unacceptable environmental damage, or violation of Fish and Wildlife Service mandates, policy, regulations, or procedures. is an emergency action within the context of 40 CFR 1 506.1 1. Only those actions necessary to control the immediate impacts of the emergency will be taken. Other related actions remain subject to NEPA review.

  • Endangered Species
    FEATURE: ENDANGERED SPECIES Conservation Status of Imperiled North American Freshwater and Diadromous Fishes ABSTRACT: This is the third compilation of imperiled (i.e., endangered, threatened, vulnerable) plus extinct freshwater and diadromous fishes of North America prepared by the American Fisheries Society’s Endangered Species Committee. Since the last revision in 1989, imperilment of inland fishes has increased substantially. This list includes 700 extant taxa representing 133 genera and 36 families, a 92% increase over the 364 listed in 1989. The increase reflects the addition of distinct populations, previously non-imperiled fishes, and recently described or discovered taxa. Approximately 39% of described fish species of the continent are imperiled. There are 230 vulnerable, 190 threatened, and 280 endangered extant taxa, and 61 taxa presumed extinct or extirpated from nature. Of those that were imperiled in 1989, most (89%) are the same or worse in conservation status; only 6% have improved in status, and 5% were delisted for various reasons. Habitat degradation and nonindigenous species are the main threats to at-risk fishes, many of which are restricted to small ranges. Documenting the diversity and status of rare fishes is a critical step in identifying and implementing appropriate actions necessary for their protection and management. Howard L.

  • 2005 Cahaba River Report
    2005 Cahaba River Report Results of Macroinvertebrate Community Assessments July 2012 Environmental Indicators Section – Field Operations Division Executive Summary Between 1996 and 1998, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) and Region 4 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA R4) listed four segments of the Cahaba River as impaired for nutrients, sediment, and habitat alteration under §303(d) of the Clean Water Act (ADEM 2002a). The segments were listed in large part to improve habitat conditions for ten endangered or threatened fish and mollusk species whose historic ranges included the Cahaba River. The impaired segment extends from Alabama Highway 82 at Centreville upstream approximately 105 river miles to Highway 59 at Trussville and encompasses an area of 1,027 mi2. Macroinvertebrate community bioassessments were conducted at six segments within the Cahaba River Basin using Hatchet Creek, a tributary of the Tallapoosa River, as a reference watershed. The objectives of these assessments were to: 1. Evaluate the use of Hatchet Creek as a reference watershed for the Cahaba River; 2. Assess the condition of the macroinvertebrate communities in the Cahaba River watershed using ADEM’s intensive-level macroinvertebrate bioassessment (MB-I) method; and, 3. Provide baseline macroinvertebrate bioassessment data that can be used to strengthen the existing nutrient and sediment targets for the Cahaba River TMDLs, measure any changes in water quality due to the implementation of these TMDLs, and to monitor the overall health of Cahaba River and Hatchet Creek. Macroinvertebrate community results indicated biological conditions at CABJ-1 and C-3 to be in fair condition and all other Cahaba stations to be in poor or very poor condition.
