    BONNEVILLEPOWERADMINISTRATION Springfield Sockeye Hatchery Project Finding of No Significant Impact Revision Sheet for the Environmental Assessment Mitigation Action Plan May 2012 DOE/EA – 1913 Springfield Sockeye Hatchery Project Finding of No Significant Impact Revision Sheet for the Environmental Assessment Mitigation Action Plan DOE/EA-1913 Bonneville Power Administration May 2012 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Bonneville Power Administration Springfield Sockeye Hatchery Project Finding of No Significant Impact Summary The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is announcing its environmental findings regarding the decision to fund the Springfield Sockeye Hatchery Project (Proposed Action). BPA is proposing to fund the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) to modify and operate an existing hatchery facility located near the town of Springfield in Bingham County, Idaho. IDFG would convert this hatchery into a facility that would be capable of rearing up to 1 million Snake River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) smolts for release into the Sawtooth Basin. BPA has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) (DOE/EA-1913) to evaluate the Proposed Action and its alternative. Based on the analysis in the EA, BPA has determined that, with the use of mitigation measures, the Proposed Action is not a major federal action that significantly affects the quality of the human environment, within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Therefore, the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required, and BPA is issuing this Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Proposed Action. Comments received on the Preliminary EA as well as the responses to the comments are provided in the Revision Sheet for the EA.

The mountain meadows, alpine lakes and jagged peaks of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) await your visit. The task of keeping this area beautiful and undamaged belongs to all of us. As a stock user, you must take extra pre- cautions to safeguard the land. The introduction of noxious weeds, overgrazing, tree girdling and other impacts can be easily avoided with a bit of skill and preparation. This user’s guide can help you prepare for your trip. For example, did you know you must get a free wilderness permit from a Forest Service office if you are taking stock overnight into the Sawtooth Wilderness? Are you aware that the eastern side of the Wilderness is closed to grazing? So if you go, bring certified weed seed free feed (no loose hay or straw).
