Authority

    The issuance of permits and permit modifications, as required by 
the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (ESA), is 
based on a finding that such permits/modifications: (1) are applied for 
in good faith; (2) would not operate to the disadvantage of the listed 
species which are the subject of the permits; and (3) are consistent 
with the purposes and policies set forth in section 2 of the ESA. 
Authority to take listed species is subject to conditions set forth in 
the permits. Permits and modifications are issued in accordance with 
and are subject to the ESA and NMFS regulations (50 CFR parts 222-226) 
governing listed fish and wildlife permits.

Species Covered in This Notice

    This notice is relevant to federally endangered Central California 
Coast coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and threatened Central 
California Coast steelhead (O. mykiss).

Permit Issued

    A notice of the receipt of an application for a scientific research 
permit (10017) was published in the Federal Register on July 23, 2007 
(72 FR 40119). Permit 10017 was issued to CDPR on November 27, 2007.
    Permit 10017 authorizes: (1) unintentional non-lethal capture (by 
beach seine and dipnet), and release of adult Central California Coast 
coho salmon and adult Central California Coast steelhead; (2) capture 
(by backpack electrofishing, beach seine, dip-net, and fyke-net trap), 
handling, and release of juvenile Central California Coast coho salmon; 
(3) capture (by backpack electrofishing, beach seine, dip-net, and 
fyke-net trap), handling, marking (using fin-clips, PIT tags, or VIE 
tags), and release of juvenile Central California Coast steelhead; (4) 
capture (by beach seine or dip-net), lethal sacrifice, and collection 
of sick or injured juvenile Central California Coast steelhead; and (5) 
capture (by beach seine or dip-net) and collection of previously dead 
juvenile Central California Coast steelhead.
    Permit 10017 authorizes unintentional lethal take of: juvenile 
Central California Coast steelhead not to exceed 2 percent of juvenile 
Central California Coast steelhead captured. Permit 10017 does not 
authorize any lethal take of adult Central California Coast coho salmon 
and adult Central California Coast steelhead. Permit 10017 authorizes 
intentional lethal take of five juvenile Central California Coast 
steelhead that appear to be sick or injured (appear lethargic, are 
unresponsive to disturbance, or swim rapidly in a circular or erratic 
manner) as a result of fish die-off events in Pescadero Lagoon, San 
Mateo County, California.
    Permit 10017 is for research to be conducted in the lagoons and 
streams of San Gregorio Creek, Pomponio Creek, and Pescadero Creek in 
San Mateo County, California. The purpose of the research is to provide 
ESA-listed salmonid population, distribution, and habitat assessment 
data which will: (1) contribute to the general body of scientific 
knowledge pertaining to ESA-listed salmonids; (2) assess the effects of 
chronic hypoxia and annual fish die-off events on the status of 
juvenile ESA-listed salmonid populations and habitat use in Pescadero 
Lagoon; (3) guide habitat restoration and management actions to prevent 
future fish die-off events in Pescadero Lagoon; and (4) evaluate the 
effects of wetland restoration and altered sandbar regimes on juvenile 
ESA-listed salmonid populations and lagoon habitat to guide future 
restoration and management activities. Permit 10017 expires on November 
30, 2012.
