NMFS Endangered Species Act Biological Opinion UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE West Coast Region 1201 NE Lloyd Boulevard, Suite 1100 PORTLAND, OREGON 97232 Refer to NMFS No: WCR-2020-00007 June 30, 2020 Hanh Shaw Water Quality Standards Unit Manager U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 155 Seattle, Washington 98101 Re: Endangered Species Act Section 7(a)(2) Biological Opinion and Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Essential Fish Habitat Response for the proposed EPA promulgation of freshwater aquatic life criteria for aluminum in Oregon Dear Ms. Shaw: Thank you for your letter of January 2, 2020, requesting initiation of consultation with NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposal to promulgate freshwater aquatic life criteria for aluminum in Oregon. This consultation was conducted in accordance with the 2019 revised regulations that implement section 7 of the ESA (50 CFR 402, 84 FR 45016). Thank you, also, for your request for consultation pursuant to the essential fish habitat (EFH) provisions in Section 305(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA)(16 U.S.C. 1855(b)) for this action. In your request, EPA asked NMFS to concur with their determination that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect the Southern Distinct Population Segment (sDPS) of green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris). NMFS did not concur with the EPA’s determination. Rather, NMFS determined the proposed action may affect, and is likely to adversely affect the sDPS green sturgeon. Accordingly, we address sDPS of green sturgeon and our rationale for our non- concurrence in the biological opinion (Opinion) portion of the document. In this Opinion, NMFS concludes that the action, as proposed, is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of the following 18 species or result in the destruction or modification of their critical habitats: 1. Lower Columbia River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) 2 2. Upper Willamette River Chinook salmon 3. Upper Columbia River Spring-run Chinook salmon 4. Snake River Spring/summer-run Chinook salmon 5. Snake River Fall Chinook salmon 6. Columbia River Chum salmon (O. keta) 7. Lower Columbia River Coho salmon (O. kisutch) 8. Oregon Coast Coho salmon 9. Southern Oregon/Northern California Coast Coho salmon 10. Snake River Sockeye salmon (O. nerka) 11. Lower Columbia River Steelhead (O. mykiss) 12. Upper Willamette River Steelhead 13. Middle Columbia River Steelhead 14. Upper Columbia River Steelhead 15. Snake River Basin Steelhead 16. sDPS Eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) 17. sDPS Green Sturgeon 18. Southern Resident Killer Whale (Orcinus orca) As required by section 7 of the ESA, NMFS provides an incidental take statement (ITS) with the Opinion. The ITS describes reasonable and prudent measures (RPM) NMFS considers necessary or appropriate to minimize the impact of incidental take associated with this action. The take statement sets forth nondiscretionary terms and conditions, including reporting requirements, that the EPA and any permittee who performs any portion of the action must comply with to carry out the RPM. Incidental take from actions that meet these terms and conditions will be exempt from the ESA take prohibition. This document also includes the results of our analysis of the action’s effects on essential fish habitat (EFH) pursuant to section 305(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), and includes three Conservation Recommendations to avoid, minimize, or otherwise offset potential adverse effects on EFH. These Conservation Recommendations include a subset of the ESA Terms and Conditions. Section 305(b)(4)(B) of the MSA requires federal agencies provide a detailed written response to NMFS within 30 days after receiving these recommendations. If the response is inconsistent with the EFH Conservation Recommendations, the EPA must explain why the recommendations will not be followed, including the justification for any disagreements over the effects of the action and the recommendations. In response to increased oversight of overall EFH program effectiveness by the Office of Management and Budget, NMFS established a quarterly reporting requirement to determine how many Conservation Recommendations are provided as part of each EFH consultation and how many are adopted by the action agency. Therefore, in your statutory reply to the EFH portion of this consultation, NMFS asks that you clearly identify the number of Conservation Recommendations accepted. 3 Please contact Johnna Sandow, Fish Biologist in the Southern Snake Branch, at (208) 378-5737 or at [email protected] if you have any questions concerning this consultation, or if you require additional information.

Both Martin Heidegger and Jean Paul Sartre, for example, perceive that nothing is part-and-parcel of (man’s) being. The present study adopts a similar position concerning nothing and its essential relationship to being, but adds a third element: that of writing narrative. This relationship between nothing and narrative is, I argue, established in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Mikhail Bakhtin, Jacques Derrida, and Julia Kristeva. As Heidegger and Sartre position nothing as essential to the creation of being, so Nietzsche, Bakhtin, Derrida, and Kristeva figure nothing as essential to the production of narrative.

  • VII the Psychology of the Dream-Processes1
    VII The Psychology of the Dream-Processes1 AMONG the dreams which have been reported to me by other people, there is one which has special claims upon our attention at this point. It was told to me by a woman patient who had herself heard it in a lecture on dreams: its actual source is still unknown to me. Its content made an impression on the lady, however, and she proceeded to ‘re- dream’ it, that is, to repeat some of its elements in a dream of her own, so that, by taking it over in this way, she might express her agreement with it on one particular point. The preliminaries to this model dream were as follows. A father had been watching beside his child's sick-bed for days and nights on end. After the child had died, he went into the next room to lie down, but left the door open so that he could see from his bedroom into the room in which his child's body was laid out, with tall candles standing round it. An old man had been engaged to keep watch over it, and sat beside the body murmuring prayers. After a few hours' sleep, the father had a dream that his child was standing beside his bed, caught him by the arm and whispered to him reproachfully: ‘Father, don't you see I'm burning?’ He woke up, noticed a bright glare of light from the next room, hurried into it and found that the old watchman had dropped off to sleep and that the wrappings and one of the arms of his beloved child's dead body had been burned by a lighted candle that had fallen on them.

  • Perceptions of the Serpent in the Ancient Near East: Its Bronze Age Role in Apotropaic Magic, Healing and Protection
    PERCEPTIONS OF THE SERPENT IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST: ITS BRONZE AGE ROLE IN APOTROPAIC MAGIC, HEALING AND PROTECTION by WENDY REBECCA JENNIFER GOLDING submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN STUDIES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR M LE ROUX November 2013 Snake I am The Beginning and the End, The Protector and the Healer, The Primordial Creator, Wisdom, all-knowing, Duality, Life, yet the terror in the darkness. I am Creation and Chaos, The water and the fire. I am all of this, I am Snake. I rise with the lotus From muddy concepts of Nun. I am the protector of kings And the fiery eye of Ra. I am the fiery one, The dark one, Leviathan Above and below, The all-encompassing ouroboros, I am Snake. (Wendy Golding 2012) ii SUMMARY In this dissertation I examine the role played by the ancient Near Eastern serpent in apotropaic and prophylactic magic. Within this realm the serpent appears in roles in healing and protection where magic is often employed. The possibility of positive and negative roles is investigated. The study is confined to the Bronze Age in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Syria-Palestine. The serpents, serpent deities and deities with ophidian aspects and associations are described. By examining these serpents and deities and their roles it is possible to incorporate a comparative element into his study on an intra- and inter- regional basis. In order to accumulate information for this study I have utilised textual and pictorial evidence, as well as artefacts (such as jewellery, pottery and other amulets) bearing serpent motifs.

    Final ESA Recovery Plan for Oregon Coast Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) December 2016 WEST COAST REGION U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | National Marine Fisheries Service West Coast Region ESA Recovery Plan for Oregon Coast Coho Salmon | iii Disclaimer Recovery plans delineate such reasonable actions as may be necessary, based upon the best scientific and commercial data available, for the conservation and survival of listed species. Plans are published by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, state agencies and others. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views, official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than NMFS. They represent the official position of NMFS only after they have been signed by the Assistant or Regional Administrator. Recovery plans are guidance and planning documents, not regulatory documents. Identification of a recovery action does not create a legal obligation beyond existing legal requirements. Nothing in this plan should be construed as a commitment or requirement that any General agency obligate or pay funds in any one fiscal year in excess of appropriations made by Congress for that fiscal year in contravention of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C 1341, or any other law or regulation. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery actions.

  • ARTIFACTS: SELECTED POEMS by Laurie Perry Vaughen Earl Braggs
    ARTIFACTS: SELECTED POEMS By Laurie Perry Vaughen Earl Braggs Joe Wilferth Professor of English Professor of English (Thesis Director) (Committee) Allen Wier Professor of English (Committee) ARTIFACTS: SELECTED POEMS By Laurie Perry Vaughen A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for a Master of Arts: English The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee May 2015 ii Copyright © 2015 By Laurie Perry Vaughen All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT The title, Artifacts, is a compost of words art and fact —with fact as Latin for “something made.” A poet recreates language from syllable, word, and shard, and ropes off sacred or desecrated places. The movement of the imagination from small to sublime, from clay shard or carved flint arrow to cultural landscape, is a useful analogy for poetics – a field school approach influenced by my studies in anthropology. Artifacts ’ poems vary in context ( place ), but each explores emblematic structure , kinetic tension, eco-poetics and a language-driven (vs. idea-driven) process. Sections include: Turning the Field: Structure and Surprise; Examining Shards: Emblematic Poems; Piecework Expertise: Poet as Archaeologist and Curator; and, The Nature of Dig Sites: Locality, Language and Transformation. In conclusion: “The artist, poet, ecologist and archaeologist each use imagination, locality, and all of experience to recreate a whole from fragments, emblems, syllables, and the tension of words, wire and line.” iv DEDICATION The collection of poems in this manuscript is dedicated to my children, Lorna Josephine Vaughen and Jared Victor Vaughen, my magnum opus. May you always find astonishment in the vox humana.
