the fish using beach seines and 

electrofishing equipment. All listed fish 

would immediately be released or, if 

necessary, allowed to recover in aerated 

buckets from the effects of being 

captured and then released. The 

research would benefit listed coho by 

generating genetics information that 

would be used to help inform a Siletz 

River watershed assessment, a limiting 

factors analysis for salmonids in the 

River, and future habitat restoration 

projects. The researchers are not 

proposing to kill any of the fish they 

capture, but a small number may die as 

an unintended result of the research 

activities. 

Permit 18569 

The CTSI are seeking a one-year 

permit that would allow them to take 

juvenile threatened OC coho and adult 

eulachon while conducting research 

designed to examine the effectiveness of 

estuarine restoration actions in the 

Tillamook and Siuslaw estuaries in 

Oregon. The researchers would use 

seines and hoop traps to capture the 

target fish and underwater cameras to 

observe them. The underwater 

videography would be used specifically 

to reduce the amount of fish handling. 

If fewer than 25 fish are captured in a 

net or trap, then they would typically be 

counted while still in the net’s bag and 

released without being removed from 

the water. If more than 25 fish are 

captured, the fish would be placed in 

five-gallon containers with mesh sides 

that allow water from the channel to 

pass through them. Fewer than 40 fish 

would be kept in each container. 

Multiple (or larger) containers would be 

used if more fish are present. Some fish 

(25 salmonids per month) would be 

anesthetized and measured and they 

would then be allowed to recover and 

released. The researchers are not 

proposing to kill any of the fish they 

capture, but a small may die as an 

unintended result of the activities. 

Permit 18579 

The Ochoco National Forest (NF) is 

seeking a five-year permit that would 

allow them to take juvenile MCR 

steelhead while conducting several 

monitoring activities in the Deschutes 

and John Day River watersheds in 

Oregon. The researchers would use 

backpack electrofishing units to capture 

the fish in several small tributaries to 

the two rivers. The fish would then be 

identified, measured, and immediately 

released; no anesthesia would be used. 

The research would benefit listed 

species by generating information that 

the Ochoco NF would use to locate and 

design habitat restoration projects and 

manage grazing allotments in ways that 

minimize effects on salmonids. The 

researchers are not proposing to kill any 

of the fish they capture, but a few 

individuals may die as an unintended 

result of the activities. 

Permit 18696 

The Idaho Power company is seeking 

a five-year permit to annually capture 

juvenile white sturgeon in Lower 

Granite Reservoir. The researchers 

would use small-mesh gill net sets to 

capture the fish. The nets would be 

fished at times (October and November) 

and in areas (the bottom of the reservoir) 

that have purposefully been chosen to 

have the least possible impact on listed 

fish. When the nets are pulled to the 

surface, listed species would 

immediately be released (including by 

cutting the net, if necessary) and 

allowed to return to the reservoir. The 

research targets a species that is not 

listed, but the research should benefit 

listed salmonids by generating 

information about the habitat conditions 

in Lower Granite Reservoir and by 

helping managers develop conservation 

plans for the species that inhabit it. The 

researchers are not proposing to kill any 

of the fish they capture, but a small 

number of individuals may be killed as 

an inadvertent result of the activities. 

This notice is provided pursuant to 

section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will 

evaluate the applications, associated 

documents, and comments submitted to 

determine whether the applications 

meet the requirements of section 10(a) 

of the ESA and Federal regulations. The 

final permit decisions will not be made 

until after the end of the 30-day 

comment period. NMFS will publish 

notice of its final action in the Federal 

Register.

Department of the Army 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Implementation of Energy, 

Water, and Solid Waste Sustainability 

Initiatives at Fort Bliss, TX and NM 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army 

announces the availability of the Final 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the implementation of energy, water, 

and solid waste sustainability initiatives 

at Fort Bliss, Texas and New Mexico. 

The Department proposes to implement 

Net Zero energy, water, and waste 

initiatives at Fort Bliss, which would 

also facilitate meeting mandates for 

renewable energy production and 

greenhouse gas emissions reductions. In 

so implementing Net Zero, the Army 

will enhance Fort Bliss’ energy and 

water security, supporting the military 

mission into the future. Although some 

training land would be converted to 

other uses, Fort Bliss would not lose any 

overall training capability as a result of 

Net Zero project implementation. The 

Proposed Action consists of multiple, 

related, and interconnected projects to 

achieve Net Zero goals, comply with 

federal and Army energy mandates, and 

meet the Army’s energy and water 

security objectives. 

The proposed action has six 

alternatives. The Final EIS indicates that 

there could be significant impacts to air 

quality, vegetation, archeological sites, 

soils, land use, and traffic. Of these, all 

but land use (as a result of converting 

training land to developed land) are 

anticipated to be mitigable to less than 

significant. 

DATES: The waiting period for the Final 

EIS will end 30 days after publication of 

the Notice of Availability in the Federal 

Register by the U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, at which time the 

Army may execute a record of decision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Army 

examined the potential environmental 

and socioeconomic impacts from 

implementing multiple, related, and 

interconnected proposed projects that 

could be taken to implement Net Zero 

energy, water, and waste initiatives, 

comply with federal and Army energy 

mandates, and meet the Army’s energy 

and water security objectives. Not all 

projects analyzed in the Final EIS would 

be implemented to the full extent 

discussed in the document. 

Technological advancements, legislative 

changes, and other factors may result in 

revisions to the proposed projects. 

The preferred alternative (Proposed 

Action) consists of six action 

alternatives (Alternatives 2 through 7): 

Implementation of conservation policies 

and procedures (Alternative 2); 

construction of a water reclamation 

pipeline (Alternative 3); construction 

and operation of a waste-to-energy plant 

(Alternative 4); construction and 

operation of a geothermal energy facility
