    Springfield Sockeye Hatchery Project

    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.

As we began planning for a robust season of operations, COVID-19 changed our course of action. Like for many, it was a challenging year. Thanks to the leadership of our Executive Director, Lin Gray, and our Kokanee spawning in Fishhook Creek by Jill Parker Lead Naturalist, Hannah Fake, along with our dedicated board members, we were able to strategically plan for operations this summer. Our leadership team took health and safety seriously and we emerged successfully with a modified approach to our typical programming. While income was down significantly in SIHA bookstores, we were able to welcome visitors to the Stanley Museum, Redfish Visitor Center & Gallery, spend more time engaging with the increased traffic at trailheads, and keep a sense of some normalcy with our Forum and Lecture Series.

    Boulder-‐White Clouds National Monument Dear Regional

    September 26, 2013 RE: Boulder-White Clouds National Monument Dear Regional Forester Rasure and Forest Supervisor Nourse, Outdoor Alliance—a coalition of five national, member-based organizations including Access Fund, American Canoe Association, American Whitewater, International Mountain Bicycling Association, and Winter Wildlands Alliance—writes to express our support for a Boulder-White Clouds National Monument in Idaho. We represent the interests of the millions of Americans who hike, paddle, climb, mountain bike, ski and snowshoe on our nation’s public lands, waters and snowscapes. Inclusive of local Idaho clubs and chapters, collectively, we have members in all fifty states and a network of approximately 1,100 local clubs and advocacy groups across the nation, many of whom recreate and have a distinct interest in the permanent protection of this iconic landscape. As one of the largest unprotected tracts of Forest Service land in the Continental US, there is significant opportunity to preserve the landscape and the uniQue recreational experiences currently available in the Boulder-White Clouds region. While recreation is prized here and highlighted by the current Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), the area’s fate has been debated consistently in the four decades since Cecil Andrus rode a campaign against mining near Castle Peak into a governorship. In that time, the surrounding communities of Salmon, Stanley, Ketchum and Hailey have become reliant on outdoor recreation, a sector that supports 77,000 jobs, and brings $6.3 billion in consumer spending, and $461 million in state and local tax revenue to Idaho.1 A national monument designation will strengthen local economies through business growth, increased visitation, and longer stays.
