Permit 1590
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) is requesting a permit to
annually take juvenile PS Chinook
salmon and HC chum salmon over the
next five years. The research would also
affect the PS steelhead (currently
proposed for listing as ‘‘threatened’’).
The purpose of the research is to study
the marine phase of ‘‘resident’’ Chinook
salmon, a life-history type that rears to
adulthood in the Puget Sound marine
zone foregoing the typical ocean
migration of the species. The goals are
to describe the behavior and life history
of resident Chinook salmon, and
determine whether the proportion of PS
Chinook salmon adopting this resident
pattern varies among populations and
hatchery stocks. Research activities
would be conducted throughout the
marine zone of Puget Sound and Hood
Canal, Washington. The information
gathered by this research would be used
to develop a conceptual model of the
life history of resident PS Chinook. The
research would benefit PS Chinook by
helping managers develop a better
understanding of the abundance,
distribution, and habitat requirements of
this life history strategy. The USACE
proposes to capture fish using shoreline
and boat angling, beach seining, and
purse-seining. Captured fish would be
anesthetized, measured, checked for fin
clip or CWT, tagged with acoustic or
archival loggers, and fin clipped for
tissue samples. Additionally, stomach
content samples would be collected
from a portion of the captured fish. The
USACE does not intend to kill any of
the fish being captured but a small
number may die as an unintended result
of the activities.
Permit 1598
The Washington Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) is requesting a
5-year research permit to annually take
all fish species identified in this notice
while conducting research throughout
the State of Washington. The purpose of
the research is determine the
distribution and diversity of
anadromous fish species in waterbodies
crossed by or adjacent to the state
transportation systems (highways,
railroads, and/or airports). The surveys
would help establish presence of listed
salmon and steelhead in waterbodies
about which we currently have little
data. That information would be used to
assess the impacts proposed projects
may have on listed species. The
research would benefit the listed species
by helping WSDOT develop best
management practices and in-water
work window timing so they can

minimize the harm their projects may
do to listed fish. Survey methods would
depend on the size of the stream system
and may include snorkel surveys, dip
nets, stick seines, baited gee minnow
traps and electrofishing. Fish would be
captured, identified, and released in the
same location. The WSDOT does not
intend to kill any of the fish being
captured but a small number may die as
an unintended result of the activities.
This notice is provided pursuant to
section 10(c) of the ESA. NMFS will
evaluate the application, associated
documents, and comments submitted to
determine whether the application
meets the requirements of section 10(a)
of the ESA and Federal regulations. The
final permit decisions will not be made
until after the end of the 30-day
comment period. NMFS will publish
notice of its final action in the Federal
Register.
