This
notice is relevant to the following
species and evolutionarily significant
unit (ESU):
Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus
nerka): endangered Snake River.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
NEPA requires Federal agencies to
conduct an environmental analysis of
their proposed actions to determine if
the actions may affect the human
environment. NMFS expects to take
action on two ESA section 10(a)(1)(A)
submittals received from the applicants.
Therefore, the Service is seeking public
input on the scope of the required NEPA
analysis, including the range of
reasonable alternatives and associated
impacts of any alternatives.
The Idaho Department of Fish and
Game and the Northwest Fisheries
Science Center have each submitted an
application for a section 10(a)(1)(A)
research/enhancement permit for
continued operation of the Redfish Lake
Sockeye Salmon Captive Propagation
program. The two permits would
authorize activities that are part of the
same project.
The objectives of the proposal are to
increase the abundance of the listed
population through artificial
propagation and to serve as a safety net
to prevent extinction of the Snake River
Sockeye Salmon Evolutionarily
Significant Unit (ESU), which is listed
as endangered under the ESA. The
artificial propagation action would
include maintenance of the Snake River
sockeye salmon broodstock in captivity
in several locations, collection and
spawning of adult sockeye salmon
returning to the Snake River basin,
rearing of the juveniles, and use of the
juvenile and adult fish in carefully
designed release strategies that include
captive propagation, smolt releases, and
natural spawning releases. The action
would include conditions to minimize
adverse effects on the ESU, including
use of prudent fish husbandry practices
and standard hatchery protocols to
ensure health and survival of the
program fish, selection of eggs and

juveniles in a manner designed to
represent to the greatest extent possible
the entire genetic spectrum of the
founding population, and the conduct of
spawning ground surveys to estimate
natural spawning escapement and to
determine the affects of captive-reared
fish on spawner distribution and
behavior.
Environmental Assessment (EA)
The EA package includes a draft EA
evaluating whether the potential effects
of issuing the new take permits is a
major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human
environment, with the meaning of
section 102(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as amended. Three Federal action
alternatives have been analyzed in the
draft EA: (1) The no action alternative;
(2) issue a permit with conditions; and
(3) issue a permit without conditions.
NEPA requires Federal agencies to
conduct an environmental analysis of
their proposed action to determine if the
action may affect the human
environment. NMFS expects to take
action on the ESA section 10(a)(1)(A)
submittals received from the applicants.
Therefore, NMFS is seeking public
input on the scope of the required NEPA
analysis, including the range of
reasonable alternatives and associated
impacts of any alternatives. The general
effects on the environment considered
include the impacts on the physical,
biological, and socioeconomic
environments of the Snake River Basin,
particularly in the Stanley Basin lakes
in which the program is located.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA and the NEPA
regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). NMFS will
evaluate the applications, associated
documents, and comments submitted
thereon to determine whether the
application meets the requirements of
the NEPA regulations and section 10(a)
of the ESA. If it is determined that the
requirements are met, the permits will
be issued for take of ESA-listed
anadromous salmonids under the
jurisdiction of NMFS. The final NEPA
and permit determinations will not be
completed until after the end of the 30–
day comment period, and will fully
consider all public comments received
during the comment period. NMFS will
publish a record of its final action in the
Federal Register.

section 2834, as amended by Public Law
104–106 section 2867, the Department
of the Army and the California State
Coastal Conservancy (SCC) hereby give
notice of intent to prepare a joint
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement/Environmental Impact Report
(SEIS/EIR) for the Hamilton Wetland
Restoration Project (HWRP), Marin
County, California to consider
alternative methods to transfer dredged
material collected from various
navigational dredging projects within
San Francisco Bay to the HWRP site for
beneficial re-use in the construction of
tidal and seasonal wetlands. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is the
lead agency for this project under
NEPA. The SCC is the lead agency for
this project under CEQA.
A pubic scoping meeting will be held
to solicit comments on the
environmental scope of the project and
the appropriate scope of the SEIS/EIR.
DATES: The public scoping meeting will
be held on the 26th of January 2005
from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Bay Model, 2100
Bridgeway, Sausalito, Marin County,
CA.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Questions about the proposed action
and SEIS/EIR can be answered by: Eric
Jolliffe, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

977–8543.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
HWRP is located on the former
Hamilton Army Airfield approximately
25 miles north of San Francisco in
Marin County, CA. The original EIS/EIR
was prepared for the HWRP in 1998.
This project would involve the
beneficial re-use of an estimated 10.6
million cubic yards (MCY) of dredged
material to restore the 988-acre site to
tidal and seasonal wetland, which is
critical habitat for several local
endangered species. Site preparation
construction required prior to dredged
material placement has begun. The first
SEIS/EIR, which described expanding
the project to include the Bel Marin
Keys V (BMK–V) property, was
completed in 2003. Pending
congressional authorization, the
adjacent BMK–V site of approximately
1610 acres will be restored as a part of
the HWRP using approximately 14 MCY
of additional dredged material. The
present notice announces the intent to
prepare a second SEIS/EIR on the
HWRP, which evaluates alternative
methods for delivering dredged material
