5.1 RATIONALE FOR SECTION 7 CONSULTATIONS
Several considerations should be taken into account in
developing the, rationale for Section 7 consultations on
projects or Federal actions which may affect endangered
species recovery in the Upper Basin. These considerations
include:
1. Numerous factors have contributed to the
endangerment of native fish species in the Upper
Colorado River Basin. The status of these fish is an _
Upper Basin problem which requires a basinwide
solution.
2. The solution to the problem is to recover the
species. This is the responsibility of the Secretary
of the Interior.
