Mid-Columbia Coho Restoration Feasibility Project

This notice announces BPA's proposal to implement various studies and research projects in the Methow, Wenatchee, and Entiat River watersheds, located in the State of Washington in Chelan and Okanogan Counties. These projects will focus on the feasibility of restoring coho salmon to the mid-Columbia tributaries, including the release of coho fingerlings and smolts into these tributaries and the possible initiation of a local broodstock development program. In accordance with DOE regulations for compliance with floodplain and wetlands environmental review requirements, BPA will prepare a floodplain and wetlands assessment and will 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.
