HATCHERY AND GENETIC MANAGEMENT PLAN (HGMP) Hatchery Program: Oregon SAFE Spring Chinook Program Species or Spring Chinook (Multiple Stocks) Hatchery Stocks: Agency/Operator: Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) and Clatsop County Fisheries (CCF) Watershed and Region: Columbia River Estuary and Youngs Bay Date Submitted: September 28, 2005 First Update Submitted: May 2, 2016 Second Update Submitted: September 28, 2017 Date Last Updated: March 31, 2017 Oregon SAFE Spring Chinook Salmon HGMP 2017 1 2 SECTION 1. GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 1.1) Name of hatchery or program. Select Area Fishery Enhancement (SAFE) Spring Chinook Salmon Program. 1.2) Species and population (or stock) under propagation, and ESA status. The SAFE spring Chinook program utilizes hatchery-produced South Santiam River (ODFW stock 24), Clackamas River (stock 19), and North Santiam River (stock 21) spring Chinook Salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha. The wild population of spring Chinook from the Upper Willamette River (UWR) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) was listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1999 (Federal Register Notice 1999). This ESU includes spring Chinook from the Clackamas, McKenzie, North Santiam, and South Santiam Rivers. The artificial propagation programs in these rivers were included as part of the ESU in 2005 (Federal Register Notice 2005). The wild population of Chinook in the lower Columbia River (LCR) is part of the Lower Columbia River Chinook ESU, which contains both fall and spring Chinook. This ESU was listed as threatened under the ESA in 1999 (Federal Register Notice 1999) and reaffirmed in 2005 and 2014 (Federal Register Notice 2005, 2014). The hatchery produced SAFE Spring Chinook are not considered part of the LCR Chinook ESU (Federal Register Notice 2004, 2005). 1.3) Responsible organization and individuals.
