order to allow the public to review the Plans
and comment on the preliminary
determinations. Public comment on
Reclamation’s preliminary (i.e., draft)
determination is invited at this time.
All public comments must be

achievable by project contractors using
best available cost-effective technology
and best management practices.’’ These
Criteria state that all parties
(Contractors) that contract with
Reclamation for water supplies

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The FEIS
describes the environmental impacts of
alternatives to operate Navajo Dam and
Reservoir to implement the flow
recommendations provided by the San
Juan River Basin Recovery
Implementation Program (Recovery
Program), or a reasonable alternative to
those recommendations. The purpose of
the proposed Federal action is to
provide sufficient releases of water at
times, quantities, and durations
necessary to conserve, in concert with
other fish recovery plans authorized
under the Recovery Program, two
endangered fish species and their
designated critical habitat in the San
Juan River downstream from
Farmington, New Mexico. The two
endangered fish species are the
Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus
lucius) and the razorback sucker
(Xyrauchen texanus). Reclamation
would maintain the authorized
purposes of the Navajo Unit which
include enabling future water
development to proceed in the San Juan
River Basin in compliance with
applicable laws, compacts, court
decrees, and Indian trust
responsibilities.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Navajo Dam, located on the San Juan
River approximately 38 miles northeast
of Farmington, New Mexico, and about
55 miles southeast of Durango,
Colorado, is an authorized storage unit
of the Colorado River Storage Project
(CRSP). Navajo Dam was completed in
1963 as one of the four key features of
the CRSP intended to develop the water
resources of the Upper Colorado River
Basin and is operated in accordance
with the CRSP Act and applicable
Reclamation and other Federal laws.
Reclamation proposes to take action
to protect and assist in recovery of the
populations and designated critical
habitat of the two endangered fishes
found in the San Juan River, while
maintaining all authorized purposes of
the Navajo Unit. Reclamation would
implement the proposed action by
modifying the operation of Navajo Dam,
to the extent possible within CRSP
authority, to achieve the flow
recommendations developed by the
Recovery Program. Reclamation’s goal is
to implement the proposed action and,
