<br />6 <br />C) <br />(A.) <br />1-' <br />C.',:> <br />(.<, <br /> <br />Navajo South Project - Some progress under the Program is possible prior to <br />consideration of this project under Section 7 consultation. Measures will <br />likely be required to effect project depletions or other potential impacts <br />which are likely to jeopardize listed fish. Such measures to lessen project <br />impacts, consistent with Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act, may <br />consist of: (1) project modifications: (2) commitments to convert water use <br />that is currently in the baseline for the ALP to other uses to benefit listed <br />fish; (3) scheduling of flows below Navajo Dam to provide additional water to <br />benefit the listed fish; or (4) implementation of any of the measures listed <br />to achieve sufficient progress. <br /> <br />Bluff Bench Energy and Agricultural Project - Section 7 consultation on this <br />project will likely occur prior to implementation of the Program. Measures <br />will likely be required to offset project depletions or other potential <br />project impacts which are likely to jeopardize listed fish. Such measures to <br />lessen project impacts, consistent with Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered <br />Species Act. may consist of reducing the planned full depletion level to help <br />meet flow requirements for the protection of the endangered fishes or <br />implementation of any of the measures listed to achieve sufficient progress. <br /> <br />3.2.5.2 After the 7 Year Research Period <br /> <br />After the research period, definitive information should be available to <br />identify flow and other needs of the listed fish and to determine the level of <br />sufficient progress made under the Program. This information is intended to <br />achieve the goals of the Program, i.e. to conserve listed fish populations <br />while proceeding with water development in the Basin. There is the option for <br />a Federal agency or project sponsor to implement measures in addition to those <br />accomplished under the Program and which would offset the likelihood of <br />jeopardy. Such measures could allow a Federal action to go forward even if <br />sufficient progress has not been made under the Program. <br /> <br />3.3 HABITAT DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE <br /> <br />19 <br />
