We <br />contacted Denise Reno of your office late last month and we appre- <br />ciated the extra time she gave us to review the plan and subini.t <br />comments. (Originally you asked for comments by September 1, 1978.) <br />We fully support the purpose and intent of the recovery plan, and we <br />will be able to supply some limited logistical support, i.e. river <br />trips, helicopters, etc. However, our funds as presently programmed <br />are extremely limited t~ carry out these programs as `suggested in the <br />dzaft recovery plan. <br />Some specific comments oa particular pages follow: <br />page 12 Para. 5. Grand Canyon National Park is now is the process <br />of developing as "Endangered Species/Fishing" brochure for <br />general distribution. This is being coordinated with Glen <br />Canyon National Recreation Area and the Arizona Game and <br />Fish Department. <br />T-1 <br />Page 15 Please indicate the nature of the park's responsibility <br />tovArd recognizing critical habitat in terms of closures, <br />restrictions, etc. <br />Page 18 Para. 242. National Park Service needs to further evaluate <br />the existing situation of Arizona Game and Fish stocking <br />trout is (or directly upstream) from park waters. <br />T-2 <br />Page 19 <br />Para. 25. We suggest that the document emphASize that <br />habitat management includes the research and exploration <br />of methods and techniques of management. Projection of a <br />balance of technical and economic practicality will assist <br />in avoiding criticism. R ~(~ F1 V EC <br />S~ Z 2 78 <br />60 <br />FEDERAL AS51StANt <br />
