Grande Ronde--Imnaha Spring Chinook Hatchery Project Final Design
and Property Acquisition
AGENCY: Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Department of Energy
(DOE).
ACTION: Notice of availability of Record of Decision (ROD).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of the ROD to fund the
final design and property acquisition portions of the Proposed Action
for the Grande Ronde--Imnaha Spring Chinook Hatchery Project in
Northeast Oregon, as well as additional valuation studies recommended
by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council. This decision is based
on the Final Grande Ronde--Imnaha Chinook Hatchery Project
Environmental Impact Statement (DOE/EIS-0340, July 2004). Decisions to
fund the construction of the project itself, post-construction
operations, facilities maintenance, and/or monitoring and evaluation of
the project will follow after the design and additional cost
evaluation. The purpose of the project is to aid the conservation and
recovery of the Snake River spring/summer Chinook salmon native to the
Grand Ronde and Imnaha subbasins of Northeast Oregon (Blue Mountain
Province), which are listed as threatened and are protected by the
Endangered Species Act. Adequate, contemporary hatchery facilities are
needed to mitigate for and recover these fish stocks.

toll-free document request line, 1-800-622-4520. The ROD and EIS
Summary are also available on our Web site, http://www.efw.bpa.gov.
