riprap - Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program

Utah conducted surveys on the Dolores in 2005 and detected bluehead suckers,roundtail chub, and one flannelmouth sucker (no bonytail were captured). The Programwill consider the need for additional recovery actions in the Dolores River as newinformation becomes available.4.0 RECOVERY ACTION PLANSThe tasks in these Recovery Action Plans are prioritized by their schedules. Schedulesare shown where they have been identified (if all the year columns for an activity areblank, then the activity has not yet been scheduled). If a completion date has beenidentified, it is shown under the appropriate fiscal year. Where specific dates have notbeen identified, but an action is ongoing, beginning, or ending in a year, an "X" appearsin that year's column. The "who" column identifies the lead responsible agency (listedfirst) and any cooperating agencies. The status column is used where additionalnarrative is needed to explain the duration, status, etc. of an activity. The caret ">"identifies those recovery actions which are expected to result in a measurablepopulation response, a measurable improvement in habitat for the fishes, legalprotection of flows needed for recovery, or a reduction in the threat of immediateextinction. An asterisk (*) identifies those activities which will contribute to the RIPRAPserving as a reasonable and prudent alternative to the likely destruction or adversemodification of critical habitat.The Recovery Action Plans are formatted in stepdown-outline tables. This is reflectedin the numbering system and indenting. Some actions which assess options or thefeasibility of a recovery action are followed by a subsequent implementation step, andothers are not, depending on how feasible the implementation step is considered to beat this time.The following abbreviations are used to identify lead/cooperating agencies:BR U.S. Bureau of ReclamationCO State of ColoradoCDA Colorado Department of AgricultureCDOPR Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (See also CPW)CDOW Colorado Division of Wildlife (See also CPW)CPW Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CDOPR & CDOW merged in 2011)CRWCD Colorado River Water Conservation DistrictCWCB Colorado Water Conservation BoardFWS U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service-ES Ecological Services-FR Fishery Resources-RW Refuges and Wildlife-WR Water ResourcesLFL Larval Fish Laboratory25
