    Report to the Office of Management and Budget on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Fisheries Mitigation Programs Department of the Interior U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service May 28,2002 Table of Contents Introduction Definition of Terms General Authorities Recommendations to Facilitate Full Cost Recovery Recommendations for Administrative Actions Recommendations for Legislation Current Fisheries Mitigation Programs Overview Description of Fisheries Mitigation Programs Bureau of Reclamation U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Tennessee Valley Authority National Marine Fisheries Service Bonneville Power Administration Bureau of Indian Affairs U.S. Department of Agriculture Appendix I Recent Directives and Recommendations for Fisheries Mitigation Programs 75 Appendix I1 List of Hatcheries involved in Mitigation and State Location 77 Appendix I11 List of Species Raised for Mitigation Programs 78 INTRODUCTION The predecessor of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), the U.S. Commission on Fish and Fisheries, was formed in 1871 to protect and enhance fisheries which were being depleted by a growing Nation. Since that time, the Service's Fisheries Program, including the National Fish Hatchery System (NFHS), has been involved in, among other things, mitigating the losses of fish habitats, fish populations, and fishing opportunities. The U.S. Congress and the Courts have provided laws, appropriations, and orders which have authorized the construction and operation of dams, and other water diversion projects. The construction and operation of these Federal water resource development projects have had impacts on many water systems and their respective fish populations. The construction and operation of these projects have resulted in the need to build and operate fish hatcheries to provide direct mitigation (e.g., provide disease-free fish eggs or fish for stocking) for waters impaired by Federal water resource development projects.
