Douglas PUD is the owner and funding entity of the program. The WDFW is the current operator of the hatchery and associated monitoring and evaluation program. Since October 22, 2003, Douglas PUD and WDFW have been operating the Wells Hatchery summer Chinook program as co-permittees under permit No. 1347. The ten-year term of permit No. 1347 expires on October 22, 2013. In May 2013, Douglas PUD received a formal request from NMFS to submit a new HGMP for the Wells Hatchery summer Chinook program. Since late 2012 Douglas PUD, as the lead entity for this HGMP, has been working closely with the Wells HCP Hatchery Committee (HCP HC) to develop a Wells summer Chinook hatchery program that will adhere to the guidance provided by the Hatchery Scientific Review Group and meet the mitigation obligations for inundation losses at the Wells Hydroelectric Project. In response to NMFS’s recent request to submit an updated HGMP and pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(B) of the Endangered Species Act and 50 C.F.R. Parts 222-226, Douglas PUD and WDFW hereby submit this letter and the enclosed HGMP to NMFS as an application for a new or amended Section 10 permit to span a new 10-year period starting in October 2013. It is requested that NMFS issue the permit to Douglas PUD and WDFW as co-permittees to the extent of their respective roles as explained in detail within the HGMP.
