WHAT PROGRESS, IF ANY, HAS BEEN MADE TOWARD RESTORATION AND 

 RECOVERY? 



Forest Service development of an anadromous fish policy for the 

 CRB, implementation of salmon summit habitat measures, and 

 participation in cooperative restoration efforts such as the 

 Klamath and Trinity Rivers in northern California and the 

 Watershed Alliance in the Puget Sound Region have all made 

 significant positive contributions to restoration and 

 recovery. In addition, we are cooperating with the Bureau of 

 Land Management in development of the Pacific salmon and 

 steelhead management strategy, which will address all BLM and 

 FS administered lands which support anadromous fish 

 populations. When these strategies are fully implemented, we 

 will have set in place a program which will lead to the 

 maintenance of existing good fish habitat, and the restoration 

 of degraded habitat to a level that will support, but will not 

 guarantee, viable populations of Pacific salmon. 



FOR THOSE SPECIES LISTED UNDER ESA, PLEASE DESCRIBE YODR 

 AGENCY'S IMPLEMENTATION OF SECTION 7 OF THE ENDANGERED SPECIES 

 ACT. 



The FS has developed, in consultation with the BLM and the 

 NMFS, a procedure for conducting consultation for those stocks 

 and lands administered in the Snake River Basin (see 

 enclosure) . 



We have delineated 52 watersheds in the Snake River Basin for 

 which a schedule has been developed for completing consultation
