In this opinion, NMFS concludes that the proposed action is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the following species: 1. Lower Columbia River (LCR) Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) 2. LCR coho salmon (O. kisutch) 3. LCR steelhead (O. mykiss) NMFS also concluded that the proposed action is not likely to result in the destruction or adverse modification of the designated critical habitats designated for any of the above listed fish species, nor proposed critical habitat for LCR coho salmon. As required by section 7 of the ESA, NMFS is providing an incidental take statement with this opinion.

  • Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Washington State: Status and Management
    Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Washington State: Status and Management Jon. D. Anderson Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Fish Program, 600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, Washington 98501- 1091 [email protected] Introduction The coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) inhabits a diverse and ecologically varied suite of habitats in Washington State. Cutthroat have responded to this variability, as evidenced by their exhibiting four basic life history forms (Wydoski and Whitney 2003), anadromous, adfluvial, fluvial and resident. A summary of the status of the anadromous form of coastal cutthroat trout in Washington State was published by Leider (1997). The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) completed the salmonid stock inventory (SaSI) assessment process for coastal cutthroat trout (Blakley et al. 2000), which expanded upon the Washington Department of Game Sea-Run Cutthroat Status Report (DeShazo 1980). In the SaSI, the coastal cutthroat populations were described as “stock complexes”. These complexes were defined as a group of closely related stocks located within a single watershed or other relatively limited geographic area. The number of stocks within a stock complex may never be known with any confidence. The inventory identified 40 coastal cutthroat stock complexes and determined their status (healthy, depressed, critical, unknown or extinct), origin (native, non-native or unknown) and production type (wild, cultured or unknown). This paper is intended to provide updated information subsequent to that paper, and to document the response of the WDFW to the proposed listing of this population under the Endangered Species Act. In response to a petition to list coastal cutthroat trout as threatened or endangered under the U.S.

In Cowlitz County, the alternatives cross the following major sub-watersheds: the Lacamas, Delameter, Lower Cowlitz, Ostrander, Lower Coweeman, Upper Coweeman, Lower Kalama, Middle Kalama, Cathlapotle, Lake Merwin, and Cougar. In Clark County, the alternatives cross the following major sub-watersheds: the Yacolt, Cedar Creek/Chelatchie Creek, Canyon Creek/Fly Creek, Vancouver, Horseshoe Falls, Lacamas Lake, Rock Creek, Little Washougal, West Fork Washougal, and Mount Zion. In Oregon, the project crosses the Columbia River and two watersheds: the eastern end of the Columbia Slough-Frontal Columbia River watershed and the western edge of the Beaver Creek-Sandy River watershed. Both are sub-watersheds of the Lower Willamette watershed in Multnomah County. Watershed conditions vary among and within these sub-watersheds.

  • East Fork Lewis River Schriber Riparian Reforestation Project
    WATER QUALITY COMBINED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Organization: Clark County - Public Works Department WQC-2021-ClCoPW-00033 General Information Project Title East Fork Lewis River Schriber Riparian Reforestation Project Project Short Description This project will plant trees and shrubs on 12.25 acres of county-owned property stretching nearly 4000 feet along the south bank of the East Fork Lewis River. Portions of the southern bank have a mature Oregon ash component, but the understory is dominated by Reed Canary Grass. Conifer presence is limited, and there are significant open areas. The proposed planting area is identified by the Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board’s EFLR Habitat Conservation Plan as having significant shade deficit . Project Long Description The East Fork Lewis River (EFLR) watershed is located primarily within Clark County in southwest Washington. The EFLR extends from the confluence with the North Fork Lewis River to the Gifford Pinchot National Forest near river mile (RM) 32. The watershed is located within WRIA 27. The headwaters of the EFLR are located in the western crest of the Cascade Mountain range, and the river flows west until reaching its confluence with the North Fork Lewis River. The upper watershed is primarily timber land. Throughout the middle and lower watersheds, land use changes to a more mixed-used landscape of forest, agriculture, developed, and residential areas. The towns of La Center and Yacolt are located within the watershed, and Battle Ground and Ridgefield are at its boundaries. Washington State’s Department of Ecology (DOE) selected the EFLR for a water quality improvement project in 2004 because segments of the river and its tributaries are impaired by heat (measured as temperature), as listed in the Clean Water Act Section 303(d) lists.

  • Project Improves High Priority Salmon and Steelhead Habitat Along East Fork Lewis River
    August 29, 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Debrah Marriott, Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership, 503‐226‐1565 x227 Patrick Lee, Clark County Legacy Lands Program, 360‐397‐2121 x 4070 Steve Manlow, Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board, 360‐425‐1553 Project Improves High Priority Salmon and Steelhead Habitat Along East Fork Lewis River The Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership (Estuary Partnership) and multiple local partners are improving habitats important for salmon and steelhead within two side channels along the East Fork Lewis River. Off‐channel and floodplain habitats are critical for juvenile salmon and used to be abundant along the East Fork Lewis, but now these habitats are rare. Construction begins in early September and will be done by the end of the month. The Estuary Partnership crew will excavate the side channels to reconnect them to the East Fork Lewis, allowing salmon to access critical off‐channel habitat. The project also will add more than 175 pieces of large wood to the mainstem and side channels to create pools for salmon rearing. In addition, crew members will remove invasive plants, and over the next few years, will replant 12 acres of native riparian trees and shrubs to shade and cool the water to temperatures favorable for fish and wildlife. The project is part of a large‐scale, multi‐phase project to restore critical habitat for juvenile salmonids on the East Fork Lewis River between La Center and Daybreak, Washington. Other phases included the La Center Floodplain Wetlands Restoration Project, which restored 453 acres of floodplain habitat in 2015, and another site upstream, proposed for design in 2018.
