Argonne's geomorphology report completed in 2003, This report <br />provides guidance on future geomorphic research and monitoring <br />priorities, <br /> <br />! Assessment of need for tributary management plans complete - all <br />tributaries except the White and San Rafael rivers (scheduled to be done in <br />out years) covered by existing or known pending biological opinions, <br /> <br />! In 2003, the Program completed the razorback floodplain habitat model <br />and drafted floodplain management plans for the Green and Colorado <br />rivers, Based on the model and these management plans, the Program has <br />shifted from screening additional floodplain sites for potential <br />restoration/acquisition to focusing on sites already acquired or otherwise <br />available for management. <br /> <br />As a result of a February 2002 workshop on nonnative fish management, <br />, nonnative fish control activities were expanded in 2003, At the request of <br />Colorado, the methodology for this work was revised in early 2003 to take <br />a rigoroLls treatment/control approach, A focused I&E effort included <br />press releases, public meetings, and meetings \vith resource advisory <br />committees. Results of the 2003 nonnative fish management work were <br />reviewed in a December 2003 workshop and appropriate revisions have <br />been made to the scopes of work for 2004 (including placing emphasis on <br />nonnative fish control in the Yampa River, generally shifting from <br />treatment/control approach to depletion analysis, and shifting emphasis <br />from channel catfish to small mouth bass), <br /> <br />XThe Nonnative Fish Stocking Procedures were not reviewed and revised <br />as planned during FY 03, Colorado is wrapping up their evaluation of <br />state stocking regulations (draft report due to BC 2/15/04), <br /> <br />GREEN RIVER ACTION PLAN <br /> <br />26 <br /> <br />lA2b2 <br />IB2b <br /> <br />X Legal and physical availability of water not assessed in FY 03 (moved <br />to FY 04 pending completion of the ElS and revised biological opinion), <br /> <br />2004 RIPRAP Assessment - Page 1 <br />
