(c) essential habitats, primary migration routes, required streamflows,
and necessary water quality are legally protected; and
(d) other identifiable threats, if any, which may significantly affect
the population are removed.
2. San Juan River subbasin.
The population of Colorado squawfish in the San Juan River subbasin will
be considered eligible for delisting when:
(a) the population in the Green River/Upper Colorado River subbasins have
been delisted;
(b) downlisting criteria have been met in the San Juan River subbasin;
and
(c) the criteria listed in (b) through (d) for the Green River/Upper
Colorado River subbasins also have been met in the San Juan River
subbasin.
3. Lower Basin.
The population of Colorado squawfish in the Lower Basin will be considered
eligible for delisting when:
(a) the populations in the Green River/Upper Colorado River subbasins and
the San Juan River subbasin have been delisted;
(b) a population in either the Salt River from a diversion dam upstream
of Roosevelt Lake to Apache Falls or in the Verde River from
Horseshoe Reservoir upstream to Paulden, Arizona, is re-established
and habitats and streamflows are legally protected. Feasibility of
this effort will be reevaluated at the conclusion of the 1995 Lower
Basin agreement. At that time the need for inclusion of these areas
in the delisting criteria will be reconsidered; and
(c) the criteria listed in (b) through (d) of the Green River/Upper
Colorado River subbasins have been met in the Lower Basin.
The goal of recovery in the Upper Basin, excluding the San Juan River, as
identified in the Upper Basin Recovery Program is 2003. A recovery date for
the San Juan River basin and the Lower Basin .will be established during the
development of recovery programs for those basins.
These recovery criteria are preliminary and may be revised on the basis of new
information from population viability analyses or information on population or
habitat status in either the Upper Basin or Lower Basin.
