As stated in the USFWS BO; a Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in
the Upper Colorado River Basin was initiated on January 22, 1988. The Recovery Program was
intended to be the reasonable and prudent alternative to avoid jeopardy and destruction or adverse
modification of critical habitat to the endangered fishes caused by depletions from the Upper Colorado
River Basin. Included in the Recovery Program was the requirement that a depletion fee would be
paid by the water users to help support the Recovery Program. On June 4, 2010, the USFWS
amended an intra - USFWS Biological Opinion dated March 9, 1995 determining that the depletion fee
for depletions of 100 acre -feet are no longer required because the Recovery Program has made
sufficient progress toward recovery to serve as Conservation Measures for new and historic project
depletions of 100 acre -feet or less.
Therefore, the depletion fee for this project is waived.
