► RECOVERY PROGRAM RECOVERY ACTION PLAN <br />Yampa and Little Snake Rivers <br />The Yampa River is essential for maintenance and recovery of endangered fish in the Green <br />River Basin. Recovery actions in the Yampa River are focused on maintaining and legally <br />poo ecting natural flows to recover endangered fish. To accomplish this, the Recovery Program <br />is `attempting to purchase the Juniper Dam water rights from the Colorado River Water <br />Conservation District. These undeveloped water rights could control about 75 percent of the <br />river's flows. <br />-k <br />Plans also are under way to build fish passage structures around several low - height agricultural <br />water diversion dams on the Yampa River. <br />Studies are planned to evaluate the importance of the Little Snake River to recovery of <br />endangered fish. <br />Duchesne River <br />The Central Utah Water Conservancy District will fund several studies as part of a biological <br />assessment of proposed water projects. The studies will evaluate the importance of the <br />Duchesne River to endangered fish before determining which actions to take. <br />White River <br />A management plan for the White River will be developed in 1994. The plan will recommend <br />specific recovery actions, including whether to provide fish passage at Taylor -Draw Dam. <br />' Colorado River <br />Several actions are planned for the Colorado. The Bureau of Reclamation has been providing <br />20,000 acre feet of water from Ruedi Reservoir since 1990.13�rhe Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board has an application before the State water court for a 581 cub4c- feet - per - second in- stream <br />flow right in the l -Mile Reach for July, August, and September4he Conservation Board also <br />plans to . in- stream flow water rights for the 15 -Mile Reach for the winter -spring <br />period by December 1995. (C <br />The-Bureau of Reclamation has initiated plans to provide for-fish passage at the Price-Stubb Dam <br />Movernment Highline Dam near Palisade, Colorado. <br />Beginning in 1994, the Service will` experimentally stock razorback suckers in the Colorado <br />River near Rifle and Grand Junction, Colorado. Broodstocks of Colorado squawfish, humpback <br />chubs, and razorback suckers have been developed from wild Colorado River fish. <br />�A gravel pit in the 15 -Mile Reach that periodically floods in the spring is one of five flooded <br />bottomland sites identified for restoration. <br />
