Rules pose challenges to cities such as Corvallis. Under these rules, the City is required to develop a program that will protect the listed species of steelhead and chinook in the upper Willamette basin. These essential behavioral patterns may include spawning, rearing, and migration. The Rules identify 13 activities or programs that NMFS believes limit impacts on salmonid species, so added protection through application of ESA Section 9 is unnecessary.
