<br />o <br />o <br />(::J <br />. .;) <br /> <br />I. <br /> <br />PURPOSE AND NEED FOR ACTION <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />PROPOSAL <br /> <br />. , <br />'-.- <br /> <br />CJI The Service, through the Colorado River Fishery Project, Grand Junction, Colorado, proposes <br />to augment the population of razorback sucker in the San Juan River. This proposal has been <br />initiated under the ongoing cooperative research effort sponsored by the San Juan River Basin <br />Recovery Implementation Program. As of this date, the cooperators with the Service in the <br />Implementation Program include the Bureau of Reclamation, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the <br />Bureau of Land Management, the States of Colorado and New Mexico, the Ute Mountain Ute <br />Indian Tribe, the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Jicarilla Apache Indian Tribe, and the Navajo <br />Nation. <br /> <br />B. PURPOSE <br /> <br />The proposed augmentation of razorback sucker in the San Juan River is in support of the <br />purposes of the Implementation Program. These purposes are listed below: <br /> <br />1 . To conserve populations of the endangered colorado squawfish (Ptvchocheilus <br />lucius) and razorback sucker (Xvrauchen texanus) in the Basin consistent with <br />the recovery goals established under the Endangered Species Act, 16 U.S.C. <br />1531 etseq. <br /> <br />2. To proceed with water development in the Basin in compliance with federal and <br />state laws, interstate compacts, Supreme Court decrees, and federal trust <br />responsibilities to the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the Ute Mountain Ute Indian <br />Tribe, the Jicarilla Apache Indian Tribe, and the Navajo Nation. <br /> <br />The Implementation Program identifies actions and objectives needed to attain these goals and <br />to implement recovery of the endangered fish species within 15 years. The proposed <br />augmentation of the razorback sucker population now under consideration is an element of the <br />identified research needs and recovery goals listed in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the <br />Implementation Program document: the essential research for long range plan and program <br />goal development, and the protection of genetic integrity and management and augmentation <br />of populations. The augmentation proposal is also identified in the Implementation Program's <br />Long Range Plan, which provides the infrastructure necessary to guide and document the <br />delineation and accomplishment of recovery steps to achieve the goals of the Program. <br />Successful accomplishment of this plan directly contributes to two major milestones of the <br />Long Range Plan: <br /> <br />5.1.2 Establish a population goal for the razorback sucker. <br /> <br />5.3.8.2 Develop augmentation plans for endangered fish species. <br /> <br />The augmentation plan, with its several alternative options, has been designed to (1) determine <br />the viability of a full-scale augmentation effort for razorback sucker in the San Juan River; 2) <br /> <br />4 <br />
