SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Bonneville is a federal agency that 

markets power generated from the 

federal hydroelectric facilities on the 

Columbia River and its tributaries. 

Bonneville’s operations are governed by 

several statutes, including the 

Northwest Power Act. The Northwest 

Power Act directs Bonneville to protect, 

mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife 

affected by the development and 

operation of those federal hydroelectric 

facilities. To assist in accomplishing 

this, the Northwest Power and 

Conservation Council (Council) makes 

recommendations to Bonneville 

concerning which fish and wildlife 

projects to fund. The Council gives 

deference to project proposals 

developed by state and tribal fishery 

managers and has a three-step process 

for reviewing artificial propagation 

projects (i.e., hatcheries) which includes 

development of a Master Plan for the 

proposal as Step 1. 

In 1987, the Northeast Oregon 

Hatchery Program (NEOH) was 

established as part of the Council’s 

Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife 

Program. It was the initial artificial 

production planning effort by fishery 

co-managers for restoring anadromous 

fish runs in northeast Oregon, including 

the Walla Walla basin. The NEOH 

Program called for development of 

artificial production facilities which 

would produce between 2.3 and 3.0 

million Chinook salmon and steelhead 

smolts designated for release into the 

Hood, Umatilla, Walla Walla, Grande 

Ronde, and Imnaha River basins and 

elsewhere. The proposed Walla Walla 

Basin Spring Chinook Hatchery Program 

and its Master Plan grew out of the 

NEOH Program. 

In 2008, Bonneville, U.S. Army Corps 

of Engineers, and U.S. Bureau of 

Reclamation signed an agreement with 

the CTUIR and other Tribes to work as 

partners to provide tangible survival 

benefits for salmon recovery. The 2008 

Columbia Basin Fish Accords 

Memorandum of Agreement between the 

Three Treaty Tribes and FCRPS Action 

Agencies (Fish Accords) includes an 

agreement to fund a spring Chinook 

hatchery in the Walla Walla basin, 

contingent on the favorable 

recommendation from the Council, 

completion of site-specific 

environmental review under the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), and compliance with other 

environmental laws. At that time, the 

CTUIR in cooperation with Oregon 

Department of Fish and Wildlife 

(ODFW), Washington Department of 

Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS), managed and continues to 

manage a spring Chinook smolt and 

adult outplant program in the Walla 

Walla basin using out-of-basin stocks. 

The CTUIR proposed the project 

because indigenous Walla Walla River 

spring Chinook were extirpated from the 

Walla Walla River basin in the early to 

mid-1900s, and recent reintroduction 

efforts have been unsuccessful in 

meeting basin goals. Spring Chinook 

raised at the proposed new hatchery 

would help meet Walla Walla basin 

goals to establish a naturally spawning 

population and augment populations for 

harvest. Supporting these spring 

Chinook recovery efforts would help 

Bonneville mitigate for the effects of the 

Federal Columbia River Power System 

(FCRPS) on fish. 

The CTUIR submitted a master plan to 

construct and operate a hatchery for 

spring Chinook salmon in the Walla 

Walla River basin to the Council’s Fish 

and Wildlife Program. As a part of the 

Council’s 3-step process, and after 

undergoing review by the Independent 

Scientific Review Panel (ISRP), the 

Council recommended proceeding from 

step 1 to step 2. Bonneville determined 

that the proposal is consistent with the 

commitments made in the Fish Accords, 

and supports Bonneville’s Fish and 

Wildlife Implementation Plan 

Environmental Impact Statement and 

Record of Decision policy direction, 

which calls for protecting weak stocks, 

while sustaining overall populations of 

fish for their economic and cultural 

value. 

To meet obligations under NEPA, 

Bonneville prepared the Walla Walla 

Basin Spring Chinook Hatchery Program 

EIS; ODFW and the CTUIR were 

cooperating agencies. In May 2013, 

Bonneville issued a Notice of Intent to 

prepare an EIS. The draft EIS, based on 

the proposal in the Master Plan, was 

issued for public review in October 

2014. Minor changes were made to the 

EIS in response to public comments, as 

well as to address refinements to the 

design of water supply structures and 

adjustments to water use requirements; 

the impacts of these changes were 

evaluated in the Final EIS. The Final 

EIS was issued in May 2018. 

The CTUIR, ODFW, WDFW, NMFS, 

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and 

other managers of habitat, fisheries, and 

hatcheries in north central Oregon 

participated actively in development of 

the Proposed Action; and, along with 

other interested and affected agencies, 

organizations, and individuals, were 

consulted during the development of 

the EIS. Bonneville is issuing this ROD 

only for its own actions. 

Alternatives Considered 

The final EIS considered in detail two 

alternatives for the Proposed Action— 

Alternative 1 and Alternative 2—and 

the No Action Alternative. The final EIS 

identified Alternative 1 as the preferred 

alternative and also discussed other 

alternatives that were considered but 

eliminated from detailed study. The 

following summarizes the alternatives 

that were considered in detail in the 

EIS. 

Proposed Action—Alternative 1 

Under Alternative 1, Bonneville will 

fund the construction and operation of 

the Walla Walla hatchery and the 

CTUIR will expand its efforts to 

reintroduce spring Chinook into the 

Walla Walla River basin in Oregon and 

Washington State. The hatchery 

program will include development of a 

locally adapted broodstock and 

production of up to 500,000 spring 

Chinook smolts for release in tributaries 

throughout the basin, to increase harvest 

opportunities and natural production in 

the basin. The hatchery program 

includes the following activities: 

• Construction and use of a hatchery 

at the existing South Fork Walla Walla 

Adult Holding and Spawning Facility. 

• Collection of spring Chinook adults 

at Nursery Bridge Dam on the mainstem 

Walla Walla River and potentially at 

Dayton Adult Trap on the Touchet River 

to develop a locally adapted broodstock. 

• Release of up to 400,000 smolts to 

the South Fork Walla Walla River and 

up to 100,000 smolts to the Touchet 

River. 

• Planting of returning adults in 

selected tributaries in the Walla Walla 

basin. 

New facilities at the South Fork Walla 

Walla site include a hatchery building 

that will house incubation facilities, 

circular rearing tanks for early rearing 

and grow-out, administrative offices, 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
45118 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 5, 2018 / Notices 

and a visitor center; a pumpback system 

that would be used as needed to return 

water from the pollution abatement 

pond to the river near the intake, in 

order to maintain minimum instream 

flows; a headbox; a shop; and three new 

residences. Existing piping will be 

modified and new piping added to 

distribute water supply and effluent, 

and the existing pollution abatement 

pond will be divided in half to improve 

discharges and increase ease of 

maintenance. 

Most of the smolts produced would be 

released directly from the hatchery into 

the South Fork Walla Walla River; about 

20% of the production would be directstream-released into the Touchet River, 

which is in the Washington State 

portion of the Walla Walla basin. Adults 

surplus to broodstock, escapement, and 

harvest needs would continue to be 

outplanted in Mill Creek and the 

Touchet subbasin as they are now. 

The program is intended to provide 

in-basin Tribal and non-tribal harvest 

and to increase natural production of 

spring Chinook in the basin, and would 

be implemented in three phases that are 

expected to gradually increase the 

number of adult returns and the 

proportion of naturally produced adults 

in the broodstock. Research, monitoring, 

and evaluation (RM&E) of the status and 

distribution of spring Chinook in the 

Walla Walla basin (as well as steelhead 

and bull trout) is ongoing as a separate 

program, and will continue. The RM&E 

program identifies hatchery fish using 

PIT tags, fin-clips, and coded-wire tags 

to monitor their survival through 

various stages of their migration and 

their rate of survival to adults. Fish are 

also trapped at existing juvenile and 

adult traps throughout the basin, and 

spawning areas in the Walla Walla and 

Touchet rivers and Mill Creek are 

surveyed to count redds and estimate 

natural production. The RM&E program 

will help determine the success of the 

hatchery program and when it can move 

to the next phase. 

Construction under Alternative 1 will 

comply with applicable regulatory 

requirements, permits, and guidance for 

protection of the environment and 

human wellbeing and safety, and will 

incorporate Best Management Practices 

such as erosion and dust control, waste 

management, weed management, 

restrictions on vegetation clearing 

during nesting season for migratory 

birds (March–August), and work-hour 

and noise restrictions. Instream work 

will be minimal and will be done during 

the state-specified in-water work 

window (July 1–August 15). The work 

area will be isolated behind a temporary 

cofferdam and fish will be collected and 

relocated outside the work area. 

Alternative 1 incorporates special 

measures such as retaining as much 

native vegetation as possible; 

landscaping with native, droughtresistant plants; and installation of a 

pumpback system and real-time 

monitoring equipment to ensure that 

minimum instream flows are 

maintained. The modified water supply 

intake will meet NMFS screening 

requirements. Hatchery water discharge 

will comply with applicable regulations 

and standards, including applicable 

Total Maximum Daily Loads in the 

South Fork Walla Walla River. Effluent 

treatment systems will ensure that 

discharges do not adversely affect the 

receiving waters. 

Alternative 2 

Alternative 2 is similar to Alternative 

1 except the hatchery would have been 

larger in order to accommodate the 

incubation and rearing of an additional 

810,000 spring Chinook smolts 

currently produced at the Umatilla 

Hatchery near Irrigon, Oregon, which is 

experiencing water supply problems. 

Alternative 2 would have required a 

costly water reuse system in order to 

support the additional fish, but was 

expected to improve the fitness and 

survival of spring Chinook destined for 

the Umatilla basin. 

No Action Alternative 

Under the No Action Alternative, 

Bonneville would not have funded the 

Walla Walla Basin Spring Chinook 

Hatchery Program. No new facilities 

would be constructed, no new artificial 

propagation activities would be 

implemented, and no long-term in-basin 

source (natural or hatchery) of spring 

Chinook broodstock would be available 

for the Walla Walla River basin. The 

current release of out-of-basin smolts, 

funded under the Mitchell Act and by 

Bureau of Indian Affairs, and 

incorporated into the 2018–2027 U.S. v. 

Oregon Management Agreement, would 

be expected to continue for the 

foreseeable future. Spring Chinook for 

the Umatilla basin program would 

continue to be reared at Umatilla 

Hatchery as is currently done. Under 

this alternative, it is unlikely that a selfsustaining, naturally reproducing spring 

Chinook population could be 

established in the Walla Walla basin in 

harvestable numbers, due to the lack of 

a broodstock adapted to the basin; the 

current smolt release program results in 

low smolt-to-adult survival rates 

because smolts are reared out of the 

basin from out-of-basin broodstock. 

Comments Received Since Issuance of 

the Final EIS 

After the Final EIS was issued, 

Bonneville received comments from the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) Region 10 in a letter dated July 2, 

2018. The agency indicated that their 

comments on the Draft EIS had been 

addressed in the Final EIS. EPA’s 

comments on the Draft EIS concerned 

water re-use and maintenance of 

instream flows; a request for additional 

information on time periods needed to 

reach Phase 3 goals of the hatchery 

production program; and a request to 

assess the adequacy of habitat 

improvements over the long term. 

Rationale for Decision 

In making its decision to implement 

the Proposed Action under Alternative 

1, Bonneville considered and balanced 

a variety of relevant factors. Bonneville 

considered how well the action 

alternatives and the No Action 

Alternative would fit with its statutory 

missions and relevant policies and 

procedures. Bonneville also considered 

the environmental impacts described in 

the Final EIS, as well as public 

comments received throughout the 

NEPA process for the program. 

Another consideration was the extent 

to which each alternative under 

consideration would meet the following 

Bonneville purposes (i.e., objectives) 

identified in the final EIS: 

• Support efforts to mitigate for 

effects of the development and 

operation of the Federal Columbia River 

Power System on fish and wildlife in 

the mainstem Columbia River and its 

tributaries under the Northwest Power 

Act. 

• Assist in carrying out commitments 

related to proposed hatchery actions 

that are contained in the 2008 Columbia 

Basin Fish Accords Memorandum of 

Agreement with the CTUIR and others. 

• Implement Bonneville’s Fish and 

Wildlife Implementation Plan EIS and 

ROD policy direction to protect weak 

stocks while sustaining fish populations 

for their economic and cultural value. 

• Improve the fitness and survival of 

spring Chinook released in the Umatilla 

basin. 

• Minimize harm to natural or human 

resources, including species listed 

under the Endangered Species Act. 

After considering and balancing all of 

these factors, Bonneville has decided to 

fund the Walla Walla Basin Spring 

Chinook Hatchery Program, subject to 

the execution by both parties of the 

Memorandum of Agreement between 

the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla 

Indian Reservation (CTUIR) and 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 172 / Wednesday, September 5, 2018 / Notices 45119 

Bonneville for Construction of the Walla 

Walla Spring Chinook Hatchery. The 

Proposed Action was recommended to 

Bonneville for funding by the Council 

and is consistent with the Council’s 

Fish and Wildlife Program. Providing 

funding for construction and operation 

of the hatchery under Alternative 1 

supports a high-priority mitigation 

project in the Council’s Fish and 

Wildlife Program. In addition, the 

Proposed Action under Alternative 1 

meets the funding commitment for 

spring Chinook reintroduction made to 

the CTUIR in the Fish Accords and 

would protect weak stocks in the Walla 

Walla basin while reintroducing spring 

Chinook for additional harvest 

opportunities and cultural value to 

CTUIR and others. Under Alternative 1 

of the Proposed Action, the fitness and 

survival of spring Chinook in the 

Umatilla basin would not be affected. 

In planning and designing the 

hatchery, Bonneville, the CTUIR, project 

designers and other fish and wildlife 

agencies worked to minimize 

environmental and social impacts 

through project design, consultation 

with regulatory entities, and 

development of mitigation measures. 

Impacts considered and fully 

disclosed in the final EIS include effects 

of hatchery withdrawals on flows in the 

South Fork Walla Walla River; water 

quality impacts of hatchery effluent 

discharge; impacts of hatchery 

construction, juvenile spring Chinook 

releases, and increasing numbers of 

returning spring Chinook adults on 

species such as bull trout and steelhead; 

the effects of additional fishing 

activities on private property owners; 

effects on habitat of vegetation removal; 

the potential of construction activity to 

spread noxious weeds; and visual 

changes associated with new structures. 

Mitigation 

All mitigation measures described in 

the Final EIS and the project Biological 

Opinions from NMFS and U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service have been adopted; a 

few were modified to describe the 

activity more specifically in order to 

ensure that contract language is clear. A 

complete list of these measures is 

presented in the project Mitigation 

Action Plan, available on the project 

website. All practicable means to avoid 

or minimize environmental harm are 

adopted.
