Subject: Endangered Species Act Compliance for Bureau of Reclamation,
Upper Colorado Region, Colorado River Projects and Designation of
Critical Habitat for Endangered Fish
In response to the designation of critical habitat for four Colorado River
endangered fish, Reclamation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to
work together to review Reclamation projects to insure continued compliance
with the Endangered Species Act. Since that time, formal consultation has
been reinitiated on the Narrows, Animas La- Plata, and Provo River projects.
Consultation on Navajo and Glen Canyon are ongoing and Flaming Gorge is
scheduled for reevaluation in 1997, and the San Juan Recovery Implementation
Program is continuing. The Recovery Implementation Program Recovery Action
Plan has been modified to include additional actions designed to specifically
address critical habitat.
During a May 13, 1994, meeting it was agreed that Reclamation would provide a
list of projects requiring consultation or reevaluation, and their relative
priorities. This information is attached for your use.
Additional information is being developed by our Provo Projects Office and
will be sent to you under separate cover. If you have any questions, feel
free to contact Christine Karas at (801) 524 -3273 or contact the project
office with responsibility for a specific project.
