minnow traps, and backpack
electrofishing. Fish would be captured,
removed from nets or traps quickly and
temporarily retained in cool, aerated
water. Time spent handling fish would
be kept to a minimum to limit stress.
After handling, all fish would be
allowed to recover in cool, aerated
water, and released. When necessary,
fish would be anaesthetized. The
KCDNRP does not propose to kill any
listed fish but a small number may die
as an unintended result of the activities.
Permit 14271
The Washington State Department of
Ecology (ECY) is requesting a 2–year
scientific research permit to take
juvenile and adult PS Chinook salmon,
PS steelhead, and HC chum salmon. The
purpose of the project is to develop a
sampling plan that reports on the status
of watershed health and salmon
recovery efforts at three spatial scales:
Water Resource Inventory Area, Salmon
Recovery Region, and statewide. The
goal is to develop a quality assurance
monitoring plan for statewide
probability-based sampling of aquatic
habitat conditions and species diversity
and abundance. The ECY’s research
application is for the pilot project which
would take place in the Puget Sound,
Hood Canal, and Strait of Juan de Fuca.
The information gathered by this
research would benefit listed salmonids
by helping resource managers evaluate
the effectiveness of habitat restoration
efforts and the status and trends of
aquatic species. The applicant proposes
to capture fish with backpack and boat
electrofishing equipment in at least fifty
sites within the Puget Sound, Hood
Canal, and Strait of Juan de Fuca. Listed
fish would be enumerated and
immediately released. The applicant
does not propose to kill any listed fish
species, but a small number may die as
an unintended result of the activities.
Permit 14283
Environmental Assessment Services
(EAS) is requesting a scientific research
permit sample fish in the Columbia
River in support of the U.S. Department
of Energy’s Hanford Site Cleanup
Mission and regulatory drivers under
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA). The research would take
place in four areas the Columbia River
waters extending from upstream of
Wanapum Dam to McNary Dam. The
researchers are targetting non-listed
resident fish but may also capture UCR
steelhead and Chinook, MCR steelhead,
and SR fall Chinook, spr/sum Chinook,
and Steelhead. The research would
benefit listed fish by helping monitor

and reduce contamination from the
Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The
researchers would capture the fish using
electrofishing, hook and line, and longline techniques. Any captured listed
fish would immediately be released.
The researchers do not propose to kill
any listed fish but a small number may
die as an unintended result of the
activities.
Permit 14290
The NWFSC is seeking a permit to
examine fish behavior and develop
criteria to be used in designing effective
screening and bypass systems at dams
on the Columbia River (and elsewhere).
Researchers would videotape juvenile
SR fall Chinook salmon to determine if
their behavior is altered in regard to
velocity gradient changes in a test flume
at McNary Dam. The research would
benefit the fish by helping managers
design safer, more efficient bypass units
for fish to use when moving past
hydroelectric facilities.
The fish would be collected from
orifice traps installed within the bypass
channel at McNary Dam and transferred
to the test flume. They would then be
video-taped as they approach and either
pass through or reject an orifice in the
McNary flume. Different flow
conditions would be created by
changing the head on the orifice. The
researchers would then overlay a flow
profile of the test area on the videos and
determine specific areas and movements
for the test fish. After testing, the fish
would be returned to the bypass
channel. The researchers do not propose
to kill any of the fish being tested, but
a small number may die as an
unintended result of the activities.
Permit 14457
The Columbia River Estuary Study
Taskforce (CREST) is seeking to renew
research previously done under Permit
13508, while increasing the numbers of
locations and fish to be taken. Under the
new permit they would annually
capture, handle, and release juvenile SR
sockeye salmon, SR fall Chinook
salmon, SR spring/summer Chinook
salmon, UCR Chinook salmon, LCR
Chinook salmon, UWR Chinook salmon,
SR steelhead, UCR steelhead, MCR
steelhead, LCR steelhead, UWR
steelhead, LCR Coho, CR chum salmon,
OC coho salmon, and green sturgeon.
The research would take place in Baker
Bay, Grays Bay, Washington and Youngs
Bay, Oregon in the Columbia River
estuary, and Ecola Creek, just south of
the Columbia River confluence. The
purpose of the research is to evaluate
estuarine habitat restoration efforts.
Specific objectives are to (1) determine
PO 00000

species composition, relative
abundance, and residence time of
various listed fish by using pre-restored
and restoration project habitats and
adjacent references sites; (2) determine
prey utilization by juvenile salmon; and
(3) determine prey availability. The
research would benefit listed salmonids
by determining how effectively
currently altered habitats support
salmonids and using that information to
guide future habitat modifications.
The CREST would capture the fish
using fyke nets, trap nets, and beach
seines. Salmonids would be
anesthetized, identified, counted,
measured, weighed, checked for tags
and hatchery marks, and released. Some
of the fish may be tagged with passive
integrated transponders, or injected
with dye or visible implant elastomers.
Fin or scale samples for genetic or age
analysis would be taken from a portion
of the captured juvenile Chinook
salmon. Some of the captured juvenile
salmonid would be sampled for stomach
contents. The CREST does not propose
to kill any of the fish being captured,
but a small number may die as an
unintended result of the activities.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will
evaluate the applications, associated
documents, and comments submitted to
determine whether the applications
meet the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA and Federal regulations. The
final permit decisions will not be made
until after the end of the 30–day
comment period. NMFS will publish
notice of its final action in the Federal
Register.
