SUMMARY: khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amanda Cranford, Sacramento, California (Phone: 916–930–3706, Email: Amanda.Cranford@noaa.gov). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Species Covered in This Notice Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESU): VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Aug 09, 2024 Jkt 262001 Endangered Sacramento River winterrun, and Threatened Central Valley spring-run Steelhead (O. mykiss) Distinct Population Segments (DPS): Threatened California Central Valley (CCV) North American green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris): Threatened Southern DPS (SDPS) The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) proposes to reintroduce and bolster native fish populations in Big Chico Creek by translocating fishes from nearby waters. Several species have been extirpated from Big Chico Creek due to rotenone treatment that occurred between Higgin’s Hole and Iron Canyon in 1986. Target native fishes include: Sacramento Sucker (Catostomidae occidentalis), Sacramento Pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus grandis), Hardhead (Mylopharodon conocephalus), Western Brook Lamprey (Lampetra richardsoni), and Riffle Sculpin (Cottus gulosus). Several of these fishes are ranked as of moderate concern in the California Species of Special Concern List within the California Natural Diversity Database. Reintroducing these species back into their native range increases resilience and provides a unique opportunity to restore previously documented native fish assemblage. Fish will be captured using beach seines as much as is feasible, with the exception of Brook Lamprey, which will be captured using backpack electrofishing. Where beach seines are not effective or possible, CDFW will use minnow traps to capture fish. Fish will be inspected for parasites and any health concerns, and the anterior portion of their dorsal fins will be clipped for genetic analysis. Depending on size of fish collected, a Floy tag may be applied for the purposes of tracking movement within Big Chico Creek and assessing the success of translocations. Fish will be transported in oxygenated water to the receiving sites in Big Chico Creek. Receiving sites will be determined each year based on access, safety of crew, and locations of previous years’ translocations. Permit 28124 The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) will deploy a Juvenile Salmonid Collection System (JSCS) in the McCloud Arm of Shasta Reservoir as part of a feasibility study to assess the reintroduction of Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon above PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65605 Shasta Dam. The primary purpose of JSCS deployment is to evaluate methods of juvenile salmon collection in head-ofreservoir conditions to support efforts to reintroduce the endangered population of Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon to cold-water habitat above Shasta and Keswick dams. The JSCS is a channel-spanning fish trap designed for head-of-reservoir conditions, and is comprised of a debris boom, guidance nets, fish trap and platform (live box, fykes, and decks), temperature curtain, and anchoring system. The JSCS is a passive system that does not rely on pumps or power, and instead leverages fish behavior and water velocities to capture juvenile salmon during outmigration before the fish enter the main body of the reservoir. The JSCS is intended to capture the experimental population of Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon from Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery (Livingston Stone NFH) reared and released at Ah Di Na on the McCloud River. DWR may sample a subsection of trapped salmon to assess their growth rates and condition. DWR may recover juvenile salmon carcasses during warmwater predator gut content analysis and will provide salvaged mortalities to CDFW and the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC). DWR will conduct mark-recapture studies with hatchery-raised juvenile Sacramento River winter-run or Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon to inform evaluation of trap efficiency and capture probability. DWR will provide all salmon captured at the JSCS to CDFW and the Winnemem Wintu Tribe for relocation and release. Permit 16477–4M This permit modification request is intended to support a suite of emergency actions under development by NMFS, CDFW, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to enhance the survival of Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon. In 2023, the three remaining independent Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon populations in Mill, Deer, and Butte Creeks experienced a cohort collapse. The primary purpose of Livingston Stone NFH is to conserve endangered Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon. However, beginning in 2024, additional actions will be taken to conserve threatened Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon that are incidentally captured during adult winter-run Chinook salmon broodstock collection activities. USFWS proposes to trap, genetically identify, hold, and spawn a limited number of adult spring-run Chinook E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM 12AUN1
