Subject: Draft Humpback Chub Recovery Plan -your office memorandum
dated July 26, 1978
E-I
We have just reviewed the Humpback chub recovery plan and feel the
information is accurate and up to date. We cote that the Bureau of
Reclamation is slated to spend several thousands of dollars, for various
portions of the step dower place, during the next few years. The Lower
Colorado Region has spent over $100,000 is studying the Graced Canyon
between Lee's Ferry and Separation Rapid during the last year. This.
money, we believe, has been well spent and will be helpful to the recovery
team in gamin information about the status of the chub in this area-
This study wi]1 conclude in December of 1978 and there are no further
plans, by this region, to study that or say other areas where Sumpback
chub exist. We do, however, understaad~that the Upper Colorado Region
of the Bureau of Reclamation may be interested in studying other aspects
of the Grand Caayoa area.
As a final comment we would like to encourage the Pish~aad Wildlife
Service to insure that adequate permits are available~to study the 'chub.
All the effort will be for nought if the study teams are not given
enough latitude, via the permit system, to determine habitat zequiremeats,
liaitiag factors, status, etc., of the fish.
