<br />002788 <br /> <br />5.3.3 Wahweap State Fish Hatchery <br /> <br />The Wahweap State Fish Hatchery (SFH) is located in an arroyo tributary to Lake Powell near Big <br />Water, Utah. The original mission of the hatchery was to rear sport and forage fishes for the sport <br />fishery in Lake Powell. However, with the implementation of the Recovery Program, a single OA- <br />acre pond was designated for use as a grow-out facility for Colorado River endangered fishes. <br /> <br />Although Wahweap was considered a temporary or interim propagation facility, this site had the <br />potential to be expanded to meet long-term propagation needs. In 1994, the Utah Division of <br />Wildlife Resources began a feasibility and design study for additional endangered fish propagation <br />facilities at the Wahweap site (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1995a). <br /> <br />The construction of additional propagation facilities for endangered fish at the Wahweap site began <br />in 1995. A large pond at this site was divided into five 0.35 acre ponds. An additional six OA-acre <br />ponds were constructed in 1996 to serve as grow-out/production facilities and as a backup refuge for <br />Upper Colorado River razorback sucker (Wydoski 1996b). Funds provided during FY 1997 are to <br />be used to construct and equip a 30 foot by 50 foot wet lab and storage building, and to install <br />electrical, water supply, and drain lines (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1996a). <br /> <br />The propagation facilities developed at Wahweap through the end ofFY 1997 are illustrated in Table <br />5.3-3. <br /> <br />Table 5.3-3 Summary of Propagation Facilities Development at Wahweap State Fish <br />Hatchery <br /> <br /> Ponds: Total <br />Year # Size Acres Other Facilities <br />1994 Completed feasibility and design study for additional <br /> propagation facilities by Utah Division of Wildlife <br /> Resources <br />1995 5 0.35 175 <br />1996 6 0.4 2.4 <br />1997 Install a 30' by 50' wet-lab and storage building including <br /> electrical. water supply. and drain lines <br />TOTALS 11 4.15 <br /> <br />The expenditures by the Recovery Program for construction and research facilities at Wahweap SFH <br />through FY 1997 total approximately $850,000. <br /> <br />5.3.4 City of Craig, Colorado Municipal Facility <br /> <br />In an effort to provide additional backup refugia facilities, primarily for the razorback sucker, the <br />Recovery Program began a feasibility and design study to make use of two abandoned sewage <br /> <br />28 <br />
