The Colorado River Fishery Project, Grand Junction, Colorado, <br />in concert with Ecological Services Offices in the three states, has prepared the attached <br />Environmental Assessment (EA) to provide an analysis and assessment of impacts to the <br />environment from the proposed plan. <br /> <br />The augmentation of razorback sucker in the San Juan River is a component of the Federal, <br />State, Tribal, and private San Juan River Basin Recovery Implementation Program for <br />endangered fish species' in the San Juan basin. The plan has been reviewed by experts on the <br />species and the San Juan River from all signatories to the Program, and has been <br />recommended for implementation by the Biology Committee of the Program. <br /> <br />Based upon the information in the EA, it has been determined that the decision to approve the <br />augmentation plan does not constitute a major Federal action having a significant impact on <br />the environment. Actions and impacts were evaluated using the best available data and <br />assumptions. <br /> <br /> <br />f!ltIll <br /> <br /> <br />?)3b? <br />I IDate <br />
