DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Bonneville Power Administration

Upper Grande Ronde Supplementation

Program

AGENCY: Bonneville Power

Administration (BPA), Department of

Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice of Floodplain and

Wetlands Involvement.

SUMMARY: This notice announces BPA’s

proposal to construct acclimation ponds

for the Grande Ronde River spring

chinook in floodplain and wetlands

located in Union and Wallowa Counties,

Oregon. A total of three acclimation

sites would be developed in the Upper

Grande River, the Lostine River and

Catherine Creek tributaries within the

Grande Ronde Subbasin of the Snake

River Drainage in northeastern Oregon.

It is the intent of the BPA, the Nez Perce

Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the

Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Oregon

Department of Fish and Wildlife, and

the National Marine Fisheries Service to

prevent the extinction and restore the

population of the spring chinook within

the tributaries.

In accordance with DOE regulations

for compliance with floodplain and

wetlands environmental review

requirements, BPA will prepare a

floodplain and wetlands assessment and

would perform this proposed action in

a manner so as to avoid or minimize

potential harm to or within the affected

floodplain and wetlands. The

assessment will be included in the

environmental assessment being

prepared for the proposed project in

accordance with the requirements of the

National Environmental Policy Act. A

floodplain statement of findings will be

included in any finding of no significant

impact that may be issued following the

completion of the environmental

assessment.

DATE: Comments are due to the address

below no later than November 7, 1997.
