<br />DRAFT MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: San Juan River Recovery Implementation Program . <br />Coordination Committee and Biology Committee <br /> <br />FROM: Randy Seaholm <br />Chief, Interstate Stream Investigations <br /> <br />DATE: May 8,1998 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: San Juan River Recovery Program, Proposed Flow Recommendations <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />The San Juan River Recovery Program, Long Range Implementation Plan <br />contains three flow-related milestones that were scheduled for completion on December <br />31, 1997. Those milestones are as follows: <br /> <br />3.3.2.2./ There are no shortages anticipated to the water supply for the depletion <br />identified in the baseline for the Animas-La Plata Project during the research <br />period. Upon completion of, or during the research period, the water flow <br />requirements of the endangeredfish species will be analyzed and the issue of <br />shortages, if any, will be addressed by the Coordination Committee under this <br />Implementation Program. If the issue of shortages is not resolved under this <br />Implementation Program, the issue will be considered as new information that <br />may result in reinitiation of consultation and will be resolved through the <br />section 7 process. <br /> <br />5.2.7. Identify, recommend, and implement flows designed to maximize and maintain <br />suitable habitats for all life stages of endangered and other native fish <br />species. <br /> <br />5.4.4 Characterize the response of non-native fish species to varying flow regimes <br />and recommend flows that minimize or eliminate interactions with native fish <br />species. <br /> <br />The Biology Committee has developed draft preliminary flow recommendations <br />along with proposed operating rules that relate operations of Navajo Dam to the draft <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
