  • Amendment to the Safe Harbor Agreement with the City of Tempe for the Rio Salado Project Area, Tempe, Maricopa County, Arizona
    Amendment to the Safe Harbor Agreement with the City of Tempe for the Rio Salado Project Area, Tempe, Maricopa County, Arizona January 2018 1. Introduction The Safe Harbor Agreement (Agreement) and associated Enhancement/Restoration Activities Permit (TE133286‐0) for the Rio Salado Project Area, Tempe, Maricopa County, Arizona, was approved and issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) in April 2008. The Agreement covers management activities affecting lands owned or otherwise controlled by the City of Tempe, and covers Yuma clapper rail (Rallus longirostris yumanensis), southwestern willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus), and bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Under the Agreement, the City of Tempe is to manage 159 acres of the covered species habitat for a period of 50 years, along the Salt River and within the Rio Salado Project Area from approximately McClintock Drive to Priest Drive (excluding Tempe Town Lake). Also under the Agreement, Tempe is responsible for annual monitoring and reporting related to implementation of the Agreement and fulfillment of its provisions, including verification of baseline maintenance, implementation of agreed‐upon conservation measures, and the amount of take that occurred, as authorized by the Permit. On October 3, 2014, the FWS announced that the western population of the yellow‐billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) (YBCU) would be protected as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended. The FWS rule was published in the Federal Register (79 FR 59992) and became effective on November 3, 2014. As a result of the YBCU listing, the City of Tempe requests an amendment to the Agreement and Permit TE‐133286‐0, Section 3, List of Covered Species, to include the YBCU.

  • Celebrating Arizona's Rivers
    River of the Month Series: April 2012 Celebrating Arizona’s Rivers Each month during Arizona’s centennial year, we will profile a different river in celebration of the state’s precious natural resources. From the mighty Colorado to the smallest ephemeral streams, these waterways have supported Arizona’s people and places for thousands of years. With good stewardship and thoughtful planning, they will continue to flow into Arizona’s next 100 years. April 2012: The Salt River If the Colorado River can be said to be the “lifeblood of the West,” the Salt River is the lifeblood of Phoenix and the surrounding communities. The story of the Salt is symbolic of the many faces of Arizona, from the river’s journey through a rugged and spectacular canyon wilderness to its essential role in cultivating the farms, industries, and development that gave rise to the sixth largest city in the U.S. in the unlikely landscape of the Sonoran Desert. In the late 1860s, a copper boom brought a flood of fortune seekers to Arizona, including prospector and farmer Jack Swilling. It is said that when Swilling noticed the remnants of canals constructed by the ancient Hohokam people, he realized the irrigation potential of the Salt River Valley. “Swilling’s Ditch” was completed in 1868 and was the first modern diversion of the Salt. The subsequent series of projects undertaken to ensure a water supply for the valley eventually became part of the Salt River Project (SRP). Today, SRP supplies water and power to many of the over four million people in the Phoenix region.
