<br />. Criteria proposed for stocking within the 50 year floodplain of designated critical habitat, <br />specifically allowing limited use of largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, and triploid <br />grass carp could reduce the loss of private sector nonnative warmwater fish species sales <br />by numbers 24%- 48% (Source-Colorado Department of Agriculture).. <br /> <br />. Implementation of the proposed landowner incentive program will create additional <br />demand for salmonid gamefish species. Private aquaculture operations that produce <br />and/or distribute these products can benefit from this increased demand if the program is <br />designed to utilize private sector produced salmonids. <br /> <br />. Implementation of the procedures and a landowner incentive program will create demand <br />for additional fishery consulting, design, planning, reclamation, and product services. <br />Private sector aquaculture/fishery service businesses can benefit from the increased <br />demand if the program is designed to utilize private sector professionals only. <br /> <br />Industry Development Impacts: <br /> <br />. The procedures impact the development of private aquaculture facilities within the 6500 <br />msl zone of designated critical habitat for the endangered species by requiring an <br />additional time consuming review process for virtually all nonsalmonid fish species. <br /> <br />. Table 1 appears to eliminate the ability of wastewater treatment plants to use fathead <br />minnows for bioassay if they are located within the 50 year floodplain without individual <br />proposal and case by case review. This will increase wastewater treatment costs due t <br />expenditures required ti complete the review process and comply with whatever additional <br />restrictions are imposed on the wastewater treatment facilities. Since the provision of <br />wastewater treatment services are rarely competitive, the consumer will bear the additional <br />cost realized by the sanitation district or municipality. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Policy mitigation recommendations for the commercial aquaculture industry <br /> <br />. Develop and fund a full time equivalent position within Colorado State Government to <br />provide permit review, case by case review, and stocking request responses for fish <br />stocking and aquaculture development activities. This position should have duties <br />prioritized to allow the private sector the necessary amount of time to afford compliance. <br /> <br />. IdentifY, fund, and facilitate market development plans for aquaculture products to replace <br />those lost by the private aquaculture industry due to this policy. Examples include: <br />funding continued disease inspection/certification services to allow continued expansion of <br />coldwater and warmwater fish markets elsewhere; allow private sector fish producers the <br />opportunity to serve state, federal, and tribal fish stocking requirements; and/or require all <br /> <br />8 <br />
