FC 4 Goal 1

-Add “benthic invertebrates (IBI)”

 (Index of biological index)

-Use conceptual model for indicators if the conceptual

model is only based on dam operations, use other

influences, too

-Just use foodbase measures as an indicator 
FC 1 Comment Reference

FC 5 Goal 2

- definition of “viable” population very difficult

-start with Upper Basin ideas

- look at draft recovery criteria for HBC

- difficult to achieve for RZB (see comment on MO14)

- MO13 questioned actual predation on native fish

- propose to change “place” to “below Paria River” 

FC 6 Goal 3 - no comments

Goal 4 - no comments

Goal 5 - Water

- small group will focus on temperature, water quality,

and human health (W.Cook)

- why is SWW FL targeted/associated with water

quality?

Goal 6 - 

- cultural –> “filling in arroyos” should be viewed as a

placeholder – need more work

- concerns about spawning habitat should be “above

Paria”

- no direction on priorities of resources

* –>ad hoc committee will address

FC 7 - 2nd sentence - “Given the limited ...” sounds like a

goal in itself. (BUBF & HMF)

- 2nd sentence - add any other tools to move sediment

in addition to HMF & BUBF

- should conform to biological (esp. Native fish) goals

- concern about implication that we can control

supplies - focus on retaining/storage 

GOAL 7

- question about necessity /viability of tranlocated

populations of KAS. (PEP report vs. Biological

Opinion)
FC 1 Comment Reference

FC 8 - (B.O. has been changed (amount of take, “AZ”

requirement)

- may not be target levels for translocated populations

- may be outside of AMP, but still important

Goal 8 

- MO 26 abundance –> target should be habitat

- source of current level? (12 breeding pairs)

- MO26 should be included under extirpated species?

- critical habit is 70 miles in upper canyon (issue is

“suitable, but not critical” habitat)

- there is occupied habitat, but not critical, habitat

FC 9 Goal 9

- question about how to maintain OWHZ

 use language that avoids specific cfs levels for 

BHBF’s –> other management actions –> put linkages

to principles and issue papers.

- question about basing importance of retaining OHWZ

just because it is hard to maintain

- prioritize four riparian communities 

- need to define “native” species

-“naturalized” is proper term for carp, etc.

FC 10 Goal 10

- legality of “absorbing” impacts - is there a better

word?

Goal 11

 no comments

Goal 12

- Overlap between agency responsibility and AMP

actions

MO 41-42 –> what does “preserve” mean. Need to

specify agency responsibilities

Goal 13 

- why no biological, etc. data in addition to

socioeconomic data?

- tribal participation is not just a cultural issue

- revise externally funded investigators (PI?)
