Final EA and FONSI for ESA Section 4(d) Approval and Section 10(a)(1)(A) Permit Issuance for Steelhead Hatchery Programs and Section 10(a)(1)(B) Permits Issuance for Summer/Fall and Fall Chinook Salmon Hatchery Programs in Upper Columbia River Basin

NMFS is proposing to issue ESA section 10(a)(1)(A) and 10(a)(1)(B) permits and make a Section 4(d) limit 5 approval for steelhead and summer/fall and fall Chinook salmon hatchery programs in the Upper Columbia Basin, Washington. Adverse effects on UCR spring Chinook salmon (endangered) and steelhead (threatened) are anticipated, but are not likely to rise to the level of significance.
