1 Upper Colorado River Basin Water Forum : Stories from the Field Orchard Mesa Irrig. Improvements to Benefit Endangered Fish and Water Users November 1, 2017 Max Schmidt, Orchard Mesa Irrigation Distr. Brent Uilenberg, Bureau of Reclamation WCAO Tom Chart, USFWS
2 Endangered Species Act Milestones Mid 1970 s: ESA compliance required for federal water projects impacting listed endangered fish 1981: Windy Gap Project consultation for endangered fish set the stage for 40 Section 7 consultations using the Windy Gap approach, but did not provide an acceptable long term solution. Mid-1983: USFWS proposed no further net depletions in the Upper Colorado River Basin to protect endangered fish 2
3 Milestones (cont d) December 1, 1983: Colorado Water Congress Special Project on Threatened and Endangered Species organized: Goal: Define an administrative solution to potential conflicts between ESA and water development March 1984: Upper Colorado River Coordinating Committee established to address possible conflicts and solutions (USFWS, Reclamation, states of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, water users, environmentalists) 3
4 Established in 1988 Partners State of Colorado State of Utah State of Wyoming Bureau of Reclamation Colorado River Energy Distributors Association Colorado Water Congress National Park Service The Nature Conservancy U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Utah Water Users Association Western Area Power Administration Western Resource Advocates Wyoming Water Association Fish Illustrations by Joe Tomelleri
5 The Goal of the Recovery Program The purpose of this Recovery Program is to recover the endangered fishes while water development proceeds in compliance with all applicable Federal and State laws. Providing Endangered Species Act compliance for federal, tribal, state and private existing and new water projects throughout the Colorado River Basin above Lake Powell. Endangered Species Act Law of the River
6 Recovery Program Provides ESA compliance for Historic and New Water Depletion Projects Summary of Endangered Species Act Section 7 Consultations (1/1988 through 12/31/2016) State Number of Projects Historic Depletions (Acre-Feet/Yr) New Depletions (Acre-Feet/Yr) Total Depletions (Acre-Feet/Yr) Colorado ,915, ,195 2,122,877 Utah ,898 97, ,520 Wyoming ,498 36, ,511 Regional* 238 (regional) (regional) 0 Total 2,122 2,517, ,830 2,857,908 * Amount included in individual state s new depletions
7 The Endangered Colorado River fish Razorback sucker (Xyrauchen texanus) Colorado pikeminnow (Ptychocheilus lucius) Bonytail (Gila elegans) Humpback chub (Gila cypha)
8 Habitat Development Recovery Elements Habitat Flow Management Research and Monitoring Managing Nonnative fish Stocking Endangered Fish
9 Instream Flow Management Occurs Throughout the Upper Basin Flaming Gorge Reservoir (Green River): Cooperators: BOR Elkhead Reservoir (Yampa River): Cooperators: CRWCD, City of Craig, TriState Power Duchesne River Reservoirs: Cooperators: CUWCD, BOR Upper Colorado Reservoirs: Cooperators: CRWCD, East Slope Water Users (NCWCD, City of Denver, Colorado Springs), West Slope Water Users (Cities of Grand Junction, Palisade), BOR, Grand Valley irrigators Points of flow control Aspinall Unit (Gunnison River): Cooperators: BOR Navajo Reservoir (San Juan River): Cooperators: BOR
10 Habitat Development: Capital Projects to Reconnect Habitat and Reduce Entrainment
11
12 Species Status: Colorado Pikeminnow SELF-SUSTAINING Adults in Green and Colorado rivers are currently at low levels Future Management will focus on: Successful NNF control to rebuild forage for adults in Yampa River and other rivers Better management of base flows to improve survival of young of year
