lands in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Some $2 million in 

 Oregon and Washington (OR\WA) has been expended for 

 implementation of habitat enhancement projects under these plans. 

 Additional amounts were expended in California and Idaho. 



The BLM currently is developing a series of Resource Management 

 Plans (RMP's) to guide our actions on 2.2 million acres of 

 Oregon & California (O&C) lands in western Oregon. These plans 

 will contain the necessary stipulations, standards, and 

 guidelines, to conserve at risk stocks of salmon, steelhead and 

 sea-run cutthroat trout. These actions not only will protect 

 fish-bearing streams, but restore channel integrity of non fish- 

 bearing intermittent streams. The BLM will strive to 

 incorporate the best scientific information available into the 

 draft RMP's before f inalization. Information made available 

 through President Clinton's upcoming Forest Summit will also be 

 included in the RMPs as appropriate. 



The 1991 AFS report documented the decline of 214 discrete stocks 

 of West Coast salmon and steelhead trout. Several of these 

 stocks, including runs of sockeye and Chinook in the upper 

 Columbia and Snake Rivers, are now listed as threatened and 

 endangered species. The BLM administers nearly 2,000 miles of 

 spawning and rearing habitat for salmon, steelhead, and sea-run 

 cutthroat trout in streams of the Pacific Northwest. In that 

 region, the BLM manages habitat for 109 of the 214 stocks
