<br />Colorado Squawfish-- The Service is proposing six reaches (Table 2) of the Colorado River
<br />System as critical habitat for the Colorado squawfish. These reaches total 1,148 miles as
<br />measured along the center line of each reach (Table 3), This represents about 29 percent of
<br />the historical habitat of this species; Critical habitat is being proposed in the Colorado,
<br />Green, Yampa, White, and San Juan rivers in the Upper Basin. There is no critical habitat
<br />proposed for this species in the Lower Basin. The approximate number of proposed shoreline
<br />miles of critical habitat by landownership for the Colorado squawfish is presented in Table 4.
<br />
<br />Critical habitat areas proposed for Colorado squawfish in each State are as follows:
<br />
<br />CSFl: Colorado, Moffat County. The Yampa River and its loo-year floodplain from the
<br />State Highway 394 bridge (river mile 137.7) in T.6N., R.91W., section 1 (6th Principal

<br />Moffat County. The Green River and its loo-year floodplain from the confluence with the
<br />Yampa River in T.7N" R103W., section 28 (6th Principal Meridian) to the confluence with
<br />the Colorado River in T.30S., R.19E., section 7 (Salt Lake Meridian).
<br />
<br />CSF3: Colorado, Rio Blanco County, and Utah, Uintah County. The White River and its
