It is anticipated that section 7
consultations will be initiated tor all
existing federal actions within the
baseline for the A-LP that are subject to
consultation. The Service concluded
that the reasonable and prudent
alternative will offset 57,100 acre-feet
of depletion tor the A-LP in addition to
the depletions in the baseline. The
operation of Navajo Dam to benefit the
listed fish will be taken into account by
the Service in its biological opinions on
the depletion impact of these existing
federal actions.

The Recovery Program is intended to
offset both the direct a.o.d depletion
impacts of historic projects occurring
prior to January 22, 1988 (the date
when the Cooperative Agreement for the
Recovery Program was executed) if such
offsets are needed to recover the fishes.
An increase in depletions from a historic
project occurring after January 22,
1988, will be subject to the depletion
charge. As long as the Recovery
Program is serving as the reasonable and
prudent alternative, depletion charges or
other measures will not be required from
historic projects which undergo section
7 consultation in the future.
