DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Reclamation

Flaming Gorge Dam, Colorado River

Storage Project, Utah

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare a

draft environmental impact statement

and announcement of public scoping

meetings.

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Reclamation

(Reclamation), the federal agency with

administrative and regulatory authority

over Flaming Gorge Dam, intends to

prepare a draft environmental impact

statement (EIS) pursuant to section

102(2)(c) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended,

42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 4332.

The EIS will describe the effects of

operating Flaming Gorge Dam to achieve

the flows recommended by the Recovery

Implementation Program for

Endangered Fish Species in the Upper

Colorado River Basin (Recovery

Program), and comply with section 7 of

the Endangered Species Act. The

purpose of the proposed action is to

protect and assist in the recovery of the

populations and designated critical

habitat of the four endangered fishes

[razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus),

Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus

lucius), humpback chub (Gila cypha),

and bonytail (Gila elegans)] that are

found in the Green and Colorado River

Basins, so that along with other

activities in the Recovery

Implementation Program Recovery

Action Plan (Recovery Action Plan), the

fish no longer require protection under

the Endangered Species Act, while

continuing the other authorized

purposes of the Flaming Gorge Unit of

the Colorado River Storage Project.

DATES AND ADDRESSES: Public scoping

meetings will be held in mid-July in Salt

Lake City, Vernal, and Fort Duchesne,

Utah; Grand Junction, Colorado; and

Rock Springs, Wyoming, to solicit

public input regarding relevant

environmental issues that should be

addressed in the EIS. The schedule of

scoping meetings is as follows:

Fort Duchesne, Utah.

Each scoping meeting will begin with

a one-hour open house where the public

can view exhibits, informally discuss

issues, and ask questions of staff and

managers. The open house will be

followed by a more formal scoping

hearing in which each participant will

be given time to make official

comments. The comments will be

formally recorded. Speakers are

encouraged to provide written versions

of their oral comments, and any other

additional written materials, for the

record. Comments should focus on the

issues relevant to the proposed action.

Comments may also be sent directly

to Mr. Kerry Schwartz at the Bureau of

Reclamation’s Provo Area Office in

Provo, Utah. Written comments should

be received no later than September 5,

2000, to be most effectively considered.

Those not desiring to submit

comments or suggestions at this time,

but who would like to receive a copy of

the draft EIS, should write to Mr. Kerry

Schwartz. When the EIS is complete, its

availability will be announced in the

Federal Register, in the local news

media, and through direct contact with

interested parties. Comments will be

solicited on the document.

Our practice is to make comments,

including names and home addresses of

respondents, available for public

review. Individual respondents may

request that we withhold their home

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Flaming Gorge Dam, located on the

Green River in northeastern Utah, is an

authorized storage unit of the Colorado

River Storage Project. The dam was

authorized for construction by the

Colorado River Storage Project Act of

1956 (Public Law 84–485). The

underlying project purposes are defined

by section 1 of the Act (43 U.S.C. 620)

which authorized the Secretary of the

Interior to ‘‘construct, operate, and

maintain’’ Flaming Gorge Dam:

. . . for the purposes, among others, of

regulating the flow of the Colorado River,

storing water for beneficial consumptive use,

making it possible for the States of the Upper

Basin to utilize, consistently with the

provisions of the Colorado River Compact,

the apportionments made to and among them

in the Colorado River Compact and the

Upper Colorado River Basin Compact,

respectively, providing for the reclamation of

arid and semiarid land, for the control of

floods, and for the generation of

hydroelectric power, as an incident of the

foregoing purposes....

In 1968, Congress enacted the

Colorado River Basin Project Act (43

U.S.C. 1501 et seq.). This Act provided

for a program for further comprehensive

development of Colorado River Basin

water resources. Section 1501(a) states:

This program is declared to be for the

purposes, among others, of regulating the

flow of the Colorado River; controlling

floods; improving navigation; providing for

the storage and delivery of the waters of the

Colorado River for reclamation of lands,

including supplemental water supplies, and

for municipal, industrial, and other

beneficial purposes; improving water quality;

providing for basic public outdoor recreation

facilities; improving conditions for fish and

wildlife, and the generation and sale of

electrical power as an incident of the

foregoing purposes.

In addition, the Criteria for

Coordinated Long-Range Operation of

Colorado River Reservoirs (including

Flaming Gorge Dam) were mandated by

section 1552 of the Colorado River Basin

Project Act. Article I.(2) of the criteria

requires that the Annual Operating Plan

for Colorado River reservoirs

‘‘. . . shall reflect appropriate

consideration of the uses of the

reservoirs for all purposes, including

flood control, river regulation, beneficial

consumptive uses, power production,

water quality control, recreation,

enhancement of fish and wildlife, and

other environmental factors.’’

Construction of Flaming Gorge Dam

was completed in 1964 and full

operation of the dam and reservoir

began in 1967. The powerplant began

commercial operation in 1963. The

Bureau of Reclamation operates the

powerplant located at the base of the

dam and the Western Area Power

Administration (Western) markets the

power.

Reservoir releases through the

powerplant currently range from 800 to

4,700 cubic feet per second (cfs).

Reclamation established interim

operating criteria for Flaming Gorge

Dam in September 1974. Under those

interim criteria, Reclamation agreed to

provide a minimum flow of 400 cfs at

all times. Continuous flows of 800 cfs

were to be provided for the foreseeable

future and under normal conditions.

Continuous flows exceeding 800 cfs

were to be provided when compatible

with other Colorado River Storage

Project reservoir operations. The 800 cfs

and higher continuous flows were

intended to enhance fishing, fish

spawning, and boating. Maximum

releases (approximately 4,700 cfs) are

constrained by generator output and

reservoir elevation. In addition, the dam

has the capacity to release up to 4,000

cfs through two river outlet tubes that

bypass the powerplant, and an

additional 28,800 cfs can be released

through the spillway. In 1979,

Reclamation began releasing water

through a multi-level outlet structure to

provide warmer water for the

downstream fishery.

On February 27, 1980, the Fish and

Wildlife Service (Service) requested

consultation under section 7 of the

Endangered Species Act regarding

projects under construction, and for the

continued operation of all existing

Reclamation projects in the Upper

Colorado River Basin (including the

Colorado River Storage Project). Formal

consultation on operation of Flaming

Gorge Dam was initiated on March 27,

1980. Reclamation is the lead agency for

the consultation, with Western

becoming a party to the consultation in

1991.

Coincident with its request for

consultation on the operation of

Reclamation projects in the Upper

Colorado River Basin, the Service issued

a Final Biological Opinion for the

Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection

System, a major feature of the Central

Utah Project, on February 27, 1980. The

biological opinion determined that

Strawberry Aqueduct Collection System

flow depletions from the Duchesne and

Green Rivers would likely jeopardize

the continued existence of the

endangered Colorado pikeminnow and

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 6, 2000 / Notices 35959

humpback chub. The biological opinion

included a reasonable and prudent

alternative (RPA) to avoid continued

jeopardy to the endangered fish. The

RPA was that Flaming Gorge Dam and

Reservoir would compensate for those

depletions and would be operated for

the benefit of the endangered fish in

conjunction with its other authorized

purposes.

The Service rendered other biological

opinions for the Upalco, Jensen, and

Uinta Units of the Central Utah Project

during the late 1970s and early 1980s

that all relied on the operation of

Flaming Gorge Dam to provide flows for

endangered fishes. Recent biological

opinions for the Duchesne River Basin,

Narrows Project, Price-San Rafael

Salinity Control Project, and other water

development related projects in the

Colorado River Basin also rely on the

operation of Flaming Gorge Dam to

provide flows for endangered fishes.

However, because information related

to the habitat requirements for the

endangered fishes was unavailable,

issuance of a final biological opinion by

the Service for the operation of Flaming

Gorge Dam was delayed until data

collection and studies could be

completed and used to recommend

specific flows in the Green River

downstream from the dam. Dam

operations were initially evaluated for

potential effects on endangered fishes

from 1979 to 1984. Releases from the

dam were modified from 1985 to 1991

to benefit endangered fishes and allow

summer flow regimes in the Green River

that could be tested and evaluated.

In 1987, the Recovery Program was

initiated. The goals of the Recovery

Program are to protect and recover the

endangered fish species of the Upper

Colorado River Basin so that they no

longer need protection by the

Endangered Species Act. The states of

Colorado, Wyoming and Utah;

Reclamation, Western, and the Service;

and environmental, water, and power

user organizations are all participants in

the Recovery Program. Under the

Recovery Program, there are five key

elements needed to recover the

endangered fish species: (1) Habitat

management; (2) habitat development/

maintenance; (3) native fish stocking; (4)

non-native species and sport fish

management; and (5) research, data

management, and monitoring. The

operation of Flaming Gorge Dam is

essential to successful implementation

of two of these five elements: habitat

management and habitat development/

maintenance. Operation of the dam is

one of many management actions

described in the Recovery Action Plan.

Implementation of all Recovery Action

Plan activities are expected to recover

the endangered fish.

Using biological tests and evaluations

conducted from 1979 to 1991, the

Service issued a biological opinion on

the operation of Flaming Gorge Dam on

November 25, 1992. That opinion stated

that the current (1992) operation of

Flaming Gorge Dam was likely to

jeopardize the continued existence of

the endangered fish in the Green River.

The opinion also described elements of

an RPA that, in the opinion of the

Service, would offset jeopardy to the

endangered fishes. The RPA required:

(1) Refinement of the operation of

Flaming Gorge Dam so that flow and

temperature regimes of the Green River

more closely resembled historic

conditions; (2) conducting a five-year

research program including

implementation of winter and spring

research flows, beginning in 1992, to

allow for potential refinement of flows

for these seasons. The research program

was to be based on the Five-Year

Flaming Gorge Flow Recommendations

Investigations which was approved by

the Recovery Program. The research

program was to provide for annual

meetings to refine seasonal flows based

on research findings and water year

forecasts. Except for specific research

flows during the five-year research

program, year-round flows in the Green

River were to resemble a natural

hydrograph described under element 1

of the RPA; (3) determination of the

feasibility and effects of releasing

warmer water during the late spring/

summer period and investigation of the

feasibility of retrofitting river bypass

tubes to include power generation,

thereby facilitating higher spring

releases; (4) legal protection of Green

River flows from Flaming Gorge Dam to

Lake Powell; and (5) initiation of

discussions with the Service after

conclusion of the five-year research

program to examine further refinement

of flows for the endangered Colorado

River fish.

The five-year research program

concluded in 1996. The Recovery

Program funded a synthesis report of the

research and development of the flow

recommendations. The synthesis report

and flow recommendations provide the

basis for Reclamation’s proposed action

and for additional Section 7

consultation among Reclamation,

Western, and the Service. Other

threatened and endangered species that

may be affected by implementation of

the flow recommendations will be

included in the discussions with the

Service.

Purpose and Need for Action

The purpose of the proposed action is

to protect and assist in the recovery of

the populations and designated critical

habitat of the four endangered fishes,

while maintaining the other authorized

purposes of the Flaming Gorge Unit of

the Colorado River Storage Project. The

proposed action is needed because:

1. The populations and critical habitat

of endangered fishes have been

adversely affected or modified by,

among other things, operation of

Flaming Gorge Dam.

2. Reclamation is required to avoid

jeopardizing the continued existence of

listed species, or destruction or adverse

modifications to designated critical

habitat, due to operation of Flaming

Gorge Dam, to the extent possible, in

conjunction with other purposes of the

Flaming Gorge Unit (dam and reservoir).

3. All federal agencies are required to

utilize their authorities in furtherance of

the purposes of the Endangered Species

Act by carrying out programs for the

conservation of listed threatened and

endangered species.

4. Operation of Flaming Gorge Dam is

a key element of the Recovery Program’s

objectives of recovering the fish by

offsetting the adverse effects of flow

depletions from the Green River, and

allowing water development in the

Upper Colorado River Basin.

5. Flaming Gorge Dam is the primary

water storage and delivery facility on

the Green River upstream from the

confluence with the Colorado River

capable of providing sufficient flow

management to allow opportunities to

conserve endangered fish populations

and protect critical habitat.

6. Operation of Flaming Gorge Dam

serves as a reasonable and prudent

alternative, as defined by the

Endangered Species Act, to offset

jeopardy to endangered fish and their

critical habitat for numerous other

existing or proposed water development

projects in the Upper Colorado River

Basin.

Proposed Action

Reclamation proposes to take action

to protect and assist in the recovery of

the four endangered fishes and

designated critical habitat by modifying

operations of Flaming Gorge Dam, to the

extent possible, to achieve the

recommended flows in the Green River,

while continuing the other authorized

purposes of the Colorado River Storage

Project. Reclamation would implement

the proposed action by modifying the

operations decision process for Flaming

Gorge Dam to provide water releases of

sufficient magnitude and with the

35960 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 6, 2000 / Notices

proper timing and duration considered

necessary to assist in the recovery of

endangered fish and their designated

critical habitat, while maintaining the

other authorized purposes of the

Flaming Gorge Unit of the Colorado

River Storage Project.

The following table summarizes the

final flow recommendation for the

Green River described in the April 2000

Flow Recommendations for Endangered

Fishes in the Green River Downstream

of Flaming Gorge Dam report prepared

by the Recovery Program. The flow

recommendations are specific to three

defined reaches of the Green River (from

Flaming Gorge Dam to the Colorado

River confluence), the period of the year

(spring and summer through winter),

and five annual hydrologic conditions

(wet to dry), with base flows higher in

wet years than in drier years.

BILLING CODE 4310–MN–C

Scope of Analysis

The purpose of this EIS is not to

identify and evaluate alternatives that

maximize all natural resources upstream

and downstream from Flaming Gorge

Dam. The purpose of this EIS is to

evaluate the impacts of implementing

the recommended flows to protect and

assist in the recovery of the populations

and designated critical habitat of the

four endangered fishes living in the

Green River downstream from Flaming

Gorge Dam.

The proposed scope of the analysis for

this EIS will focus on responding to the

following analysis question:

If Reclamation operates Flaming Gorge

Dam to achieve the flow recommendations

needed to protect and assist in the recovery

of the endangered fishes and their critical

habitat in the Green River, then the effect(s)

on other relevant resources/issues, both

downstream and upstream from the dam,

would be . . .

Scoping conducted for the EIS will be

used to identify issues associated with

the proposed action and its purpose and

need. Scoping will also be used to

identify other significant resources that

may be affected, identify the interested

parties or parties affected by the

proposed action, and assist Reclamation

in developing reasonable alternatives

that are consistent with the intent of the

flow recommendations. The geographic

scope of the EIS (how far upstream/

downstream from the dam can impacts

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 6, 2000 / Notices 35961

be meaningfully evaluated) has not yet

been determined. Reclamation invites

comments suggesting a reasonable

geographic scope of analysis for the EIS.

As a result of previous discussions

with interested parties and earlier

scoping activities, Reclamation has

identified the following resources or

issues as potentially relevant and ones

that should be addressed in the EIS:

threatened and endangered species,

wetland and riparian resources, aquatic

resources, water quality, water supply,

recreation activities and facilities,

cultural resources, power generation,

damage to human improvements,

operation and maintenance of the dam,

sediment transport, vectors such as

mosquitoes, social and economic effects,

and Indian trust assets. Other relevant

issues may be identified as a result of

the scoping process associated with

completion of this EIS.
