Paiute Cutthroat Trout Restoration
Project, Alpine County, CA
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability: final
environmental impact statement.
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
availability of the Paiute Cutthroat Trout
Restoration Project Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS)/Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) for public review.
We, the Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service), along with the HumboldtToiyabe National Forest (Cooperating
Agency) and the California Department
of Fish and Game (CDFG, California
Environmental Quality Act lead agency)
(collectively, agencies), are proposing to
restore Paiute cutthroat trout to the
species historical range within the
Silver King Creek watershed, Alpine
County, California. To accomplish this,
the agencies must first eradicate the
non-native and hybrid trout which
currently occupy the habitat. We are
publishing this notice to inform the
public of the proposed action and to
make available for review the Final EIS/
EIR, which includes responses to public
comments received on the March 2009,
Draft EIS/EIR.
DATES: A Record of Decision will be
signed no sooner than 30 days after the
publication of the Environmental
Protection Agency notice. We must
receive comments by 5 p.m. on May 10,
2010.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments to Robert
D. Williams, State Supervisor, by U.S.
mail at Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office,
1340 Financial Boulevard, Suite 234,
Reno, NV 89502; by telephone at (775)
861–6300 or by fax at (775) 861–6301.

Biologist, at the address or telephone or

Background
The Paiute cutthroat trout was listed
as endangered by the Service under the
Endangered Species Preservation Act of
1966 on March 11, 1967 (Service 1967)
and reclassified to threatened under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973 on July
16, 1975 (Service 1975). Silver King
Creek, from Llewellyn Falls downstream
to Silver King Canyon, and its
associated tributaries in Alpine County,
California, comprise the native
historical range of the Paiute cutthroat
trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii seleniris)
(Service 2004).
The fish now present in the Silver
King Creek watershed between
Llewellyn Falls and Silver King Canyon
are a genetic mixture of introduced
rainbow trout (O. mykiss), Lahontan
cutthroat trout (O. c. henshawi), golden
trout (O. aquabonita ssp.), and Paiute
cutthroat trout. Hybridization with
nonnative trout species is the primary
threat to Paiute cutthroat trout within its
historical range (Service 2004). Fishery
restoration efforts involving Paiute
cutthroat trout span from 1950 to the
present and include prior removals of
nonnative and hybridized fish, as well
as establishing and maintaining
introduced populations of
nonhybridized Paiute cutthroat trout.
Populations of Paiute cutthroat trout
have been established in several
California streams outside the Silver
King Creek watershed, including the
North Fork of Cottonwood Creek and
Cabin Creek in the Inyo National Forest
(Mono County), Sharktooth Creek
(Fresno County), and Stairway Creek
(Madera County) both on the Sierra
National Forest.
Paiute cutthroat trout are currently
found in Silver King Creek upstream of
Llewellyn Falls, where a previouslyintroduced population was restored by
CDFG in the early 1990’s and in other
tributaries where populations have been
established within the watershed (e.g.,
Four Mile Creek, Fly Valley Creek,
Coyote Creek and Corral Valley Creek).
The project would implement the first
and second recovery actions listed in
the Paiute Cutthroat Trout Revised
Recovery Plan (Service 2004) which
lists actions to restore, recover, and
ultimately delist the species. The
objective of the proposed project is to
return Paiute cutthroat trout back to its
historical range and establish them as
the only salmonid fish species in Silver
King Creek to prevent hybridization
with other trout. This is an important
and necessary step in preventing Paiute
cutthroat trout from going extinct and
