additional water was made available to the fishes last <br />summer. <br />h. Similar lease agreements may be entered into <br />between the Department of the Interior and the State of <br />Colorado to protect instream flow releases from Flaming <br />Gorge and Blue Mesa Reservoirs after the conclusion of <br />section 7 consultation on those projects. <br />III. Future Water Protection Activities. <br />A. At the August 1990 Implementation Committee Meeting, <br />concern was expressed by all parties as to the slow pace of <br />protecting instream flows for the endangered fishes. This <br />was creating a problem for water developers who were going <br />through section 7 consultation and had thought that they <br />could rely upon the Program to offset all the depletion <br />impacts of their projects as long as they contributed to <br />funding the Program. Since the Program had not made <br />sufficient progress in protecting the instream flows before <br />these projects needed to receive biological opinions, the FWS <br />had determined that such projects had to make provisions for <br />protection of flows until the Program was successful in <br />protecting those flows. (This was agreed to by the River <br />District as described in the Muddy Creek biological opinion.) <br />B. The Implementation Committee requested that a water <br />acquisition subcommittee be formed to develop a plan for the <br />future water protection activities. The status report and <br />recommendations were prepared by a subcommittee which <br />included representatives of all the affected interests. The <br />report and its recommendations were approved by the <br />Implementation Committee at its February 21, 1990, meeting. <br />C. The report sets out the strategy for protection of <br />instream flows in the Yampa River, the Little Snake River, <br />the 15-mile reach, the White River, and acquisition of water <br />rights through the Farm Foreclosure Program. <br />D. The Plan provides that the FWS should generate a work <br />plan for the White River by May 1, 1990, since no acquisition <br />activities have commenced relating to protection of flows in <br />the White River. It also requests that the FWS provide a <br />status report on the 404 permit for the White River Dam which <br />could impounded waters in the reach that the FWS had <br />recommended be protected. The status report has been sent by <br />the FWS to all the parties, and it states that the Corps of <br />Engineers' 404 permit for the White River Dam, Utah has <br />expired, but the BLM right-of-way permit is still in <br />existepce. <br />9
