Listed species: Colorado River Squawfish, Humpback Chub, Boneytail Chub, and Razorback <br />Sucker <br /> <br />B. Habitat designation: nearly 2000 miles of river, from Craig and Rifle, Colorado to the <br />Mexican border <br /> <br />C.

Channel/side channel modification <br /> <br />D. Lower Basin Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan - A similar approach to the Upper <br />Basin program, designed to implement measures so as to allow for operations in the <br />Lower Basin consistent with the Endangered Species Act.
