<br /> <br />APPENDIX C <br />ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE RECOVERY IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM <br />RELATED TO SECTION 7 CONSULTATIONS <br />UPPER COLORADO RIVER BASIN <br />MAY 1993 <br />Background <br />The Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) will determine whether progress by the <br />Recovery Implementation Program (Program) provides a reasonable and prudent <br />alternative based on the following factors: <br />a. Actions which result in a measurable population response, a measurable <br />improvement in habitat for the fishes, legal protection of flows <br />needed for recovery, or a reduction in the threat of immediate <br />extinction. <br />b. Status of fish populations. <br />c. Adequacy of flows. <br />d. Magnitude of the impact of projects. <br />The Service will assess the impacts of projects that require Section 7 <br />consultations and determine if accomplishments under the Program are <br />sufficient for it to serve as a reasonable and prudent alternative. <br />Generally, sufficient progress will be evaluated separately for the Colorado <br />and Green River Subbasins, although due consideration will be given to <br />progress throughout the Upper Colorado River Basin. <br />Colorado River Subbasin Accomplishments <br />1. Actions which result in a measurable population response, legal protection <br />of flows, or a reduction in the threat of immediate extinction: <br />a. Execution of an agreement by the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), <br />Service, and Colorado Water Conservation Board to provide a permanent <br />commitment of 10,000 acre-feet of Ruedi Reservoir releases to and <br />through the 15-mile reach. <br />b. Application to the water court by the Colorado Water Conservation <br />Board to file for a 581 cfs instream flow right for the 15-mile reach <br />for the months of July, August, and September. <br />c. Establishment of refugia for the Colorado squawfish and razorback <br />sucker from th'e Colorado River. ' <br />
