    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.

Our mission is ‘to protect and advance the natural and cultural history of Idaho’s Sawtooth-Salmon River Country through preservation and education.' 2020 has certainly been a year to move past. 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.

  • Hiking the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho - 2 July 31 – August 11, 2021 (Trip# 2154)
    Hiking the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho - 2 July 31 – August 11, 2021 (trip# 2154) Alice Lake, Sawtooth Wilderness We are glad that you are interested in this exciting trip! Please read the information carefully, and contact us if you have specific questions about this trip: Leslie Carson 508-737-6627; [email protected] or Denise Fredette 207-939- 3670; [email protected]. For general questions about AMC Adventure Travel, please email [email protected]. SUMMARY The Sawtooth Range is a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains, located in Central Idaho. It is named for its jagged peaks. Much of the range is located within the Sawtooth Wilderness. Bordered to the east lies 30-mile long Sawtooth Valley and the town of Stanley, our home for the majority of this trip. To the east of the valley are the White Cloud Mountains. These peaks offer a unique perspective, looking across the valley at the jagged Sawtooth. On this 12-day adventure, we'll explore the alpine lakes, high divides and summits of the Sawtooth and White Cloud. After arriving in Boise, Idaho, we’ll meet the group at our welcome dinner and gather some supplies for the trip. After one night in Boise, we’ll leave it behind for a three hour scenic drive to the town of Stanley, our home for eight nights. We'll enjoy moderate to challenging hikes ranging from 7 to 17 miles per day. We’ll see wildflowers and wildlife, pristine lakes, jagged peaks and one panorama after another. We’ll experience the unique terrain and mountain air as we climb to several divides and summits between 9,000’ and 10,000’.

  • Sawtooth NF Stock Users Pamphlet
    The Stock User’s Guide Sawtooth National Recreation Area “It was a land of vast silent spaces, of lonely rivers, and of plains where the wild game stared at passing horsemen. We felt the beat of hardy life in our veins, and ours was the glory of work and the joy of living.” Theodore Roosevelt Contents 1 Welcome, Weeds and Frontcountry Camping 2 Avoiding Bruises (and Bears) 3 Where should I go? 4 A few Sawtooth facts 5-6 Leave No Trace at a Glance 7-10 Sawtooth Wilderness Backcountry Stock Tie Areas 11-12 Sawtooth Wilderness Regulations 13-14 Boulder-White Clouds Backcountry Stock Tie Areas and Regulations 15 Checklist: What to Take Back Contact Us Cover Welcome! 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). For more useful tips, please read on, and have a great journey.
