Accordingly, the import ban was lifted for a trial period of at least 2 years, although the three spe- cies remained listed as Threatened. On November 10, 1982, the Australian Government petitioned the Service to allow the continued import into the U.S. J of kangaroo products after the close of the 2-year trial period, and to remove all three species from the U.S. List of Threatened and Endangered Species. The accompanying data were judged Three kangaroo species now listed as Threatened are proposed for delisting. The Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepi- dochelys kempii) project, which is being carried out with the Mexico Secretariat of Fisheries, began April 12, and will continue through the nesting and hatch- ing season (until August).

The first litter of second generation Mexican wolves (Canis lupus baileyi) born in captivity was whelped on April 21 at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albu- querque.

Middle Rio Grande Microbial Source Tracking Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Middle Rio Grande (MRG) Microbial Source Tracking Project was funded by the New Mexico Environmental Department, Albuquerque Metropolitan Arroyo Flood Control Authority, and Bernalillo County. The objective of this project was to identify specific sources of fecal coliform causing high levels of bacteria in the MRG. The three agencies recognized that this type of data was essential to provide water quality program managers and stakeholders the information necessary to target solutions for reducing fecal coliform concentrations/loadings within the surface waters of the study area. The study area lies within the MRG between Angostura Diversion Dam in southeastern Sandoval County to the Isleta Diversion Dam, at the northern border of Isleta Pueblo, a distance of approximately 42 river miles (Figure 2.1). To identify specific sources of fecal coliform by subwatershed, this project involved several steps: • Execution of a sanitary survey or reconnaissance tour of the watershed and a compilation of available data and literature to identify potential contributing sources of fecal bacteria to be considered.
