| 00-26471 | Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for Constructing a Warm-Water Sportfish and Native Aquatic Species Hatchery in Millard County, Utah | Notice | The Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission with cooperating agencies: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of the Secretary, U. S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service will prepare an EIS on a proposal to construct a warm-water sportfish and native aquatic species hatchery near Gandy Warm Springs in Millard County, Utah. The site is located on federal land managed by the BLM. The BLM intends to use this Notice of Intent and EIS for their Record of Decision for any required land transaction. Species to be propagated include the channel catfish, June sucker, least chub, leatherside chub, roundtail chub, boreal toad, and spotted frog. Facilities to be constructed include: water systems--control structures, supply/drain lines, effluent treatment; rearing facilities--earthen, concrete and plastic ponds, raceways or tanks; buildings--hatchery/lab/office, shop, service/storage, residences, visitors' facilities. The Central Utah Project Completion Act of 1992 (Act) authorized funding to improve existing hatchery facilities or construct new ones to increase production of warm water and cold water fish for the areas affected by the Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP) in Utah. In compliance with the Act, a Fish Hatchery Production Plan (Plan) and Environmental Assessment (EA) on the Plan were completed in 1995. The Plan was revised in 1998 based on updated information. The Plan identifies long- term warm water sport-fish and native aquatic species stocking needs for meeting management objectives in CRSP-affected area waters, and recommends construction of a warm water hatchery. The Mitigation Commission accepted the revised Plan, and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact on implementation of the Plan. Three possible alternatives have been identified: 1. No Action-- build no facility; 2. Use an existing hatchery facility; and 3. Construct a new facility at the Gandy Warm Springs site (proposed action). The No Action Alternative would be no new construction, but the use of a small, existing warm-water culture effort. The Existing Hatchery System Alternative would be an evaluation of a facility or facilities within the existing hatchery system for possible improvements for warm- water culture. The Proposed Action Alternative would be the new facility construction at the Gandy Warm Springs site, Millard County, Utah. It would include a land transaction by the BLM under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act (68 Statute 173; 43 USC 869 et seq.). | 2000-10-16 | 2000 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/10/16/00-26471/notice-of-intent-to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-for-constructing-a-warm-water | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-10-16/pdf/00-26471.pdf | Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission | 518 | The Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission with cooperating agencies: Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of the Secretary, U.
