considering two action alternatives for 

evaluation in the EIS. The alternatives 

propose a combination of sites used in 

the feasibility study and new hatchery 

sites and juvenile rearing sites. The 

difference between the alternatives is 

largely the number and distribution of 

juvenile rearing sites. 

• Master Plan Alternative: The Master 

Plan alternative would follow the steps 

and transition points for the 

reintroduction phases described in the 

Master Plan. This alternative would 

include 20 juvenile rearing sites 

distributed throughout the Wenatchee 

and Methow basins. The number and 

distribution is intended to optimize the 

use of resources and result in efficient 

distribution of returning adults to the 

best habitat while minimizing potential 

interactions with other salmon species. 

• Reduced Production Alternative: 

This alternative would follow the same 

implementation steps as described in 

the Master Plan, but would use fewer 

juvenile rearing sites with a 

corresponding decrease in released 

juveniles. This is intended to further 

reduce inter-species competition and 

potential water quality effects. 

BPA is also considering the No Action 

Alternative, that is, not funding the 

YN’s proposal. Under the no action 

alternative the YN would use internal 

non-federal funding to implement their 

proposal but the scope of the proposed 

activities would be less than the 

Reduced Production Alternative. Other 

alternatives may be identified through 

the scoping process. 

Public Participation and 

Identification of Environmental Issues. 

The potential environmental issues 

identified for this reintroduction project 

include threatened and endangered 

species, sensitive plants and animals, 

fisheries, water quality and quantity, 

land use, socioeconomics, cultural 

resources, soil erosion, wetlands, and 

floodplains. BPA has established a 45- 

day scoping period during which tribes, 

affected landowners, concerned 

citizens, special interest groups, local 

and Federal governments, and any other 

interested parties are invited to 

comment on the scope of the proposed 

EIS, including potential alternatives to 

be considered and environmental 

impacts to be evaluated. Scoping will 

help BPA ensure that a full range of 

issues related to this proposal is 

addressed in the EIS, and also will 

identify significant or potentially 

significant impacts that may result from 

the proposed project. When completed, 

the Draft EIS will be circulated for 

review and comment, and BPA will 

hold public meetings to answer 

questions and receive comments. BPA 

will consider and respond to comments 

received on the Draft EIS in the Final 

EIS. The Final EIS is expected to be 

published in late summer 2011. BPA’s 

decision will be documented in a 

Record of Decision that will follow the 

Final EIS.

phase or issue in a proceeding.1 The 

restricted service list should contain the 

names of persons on the service list 

who, in the judgment of the decisional 

authority establishing the list, are active
