Puget Sound Hatcheries Environmental Impact Statement Notice of Intent

We are preparing an environmental impact statement (EIS) for two resource management plans (RMPs) that were submitted by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Puget Sound Treaty Tribes (the co-managers). One resource management plan discusses hatchery programs that produce Chinook salmon. The other plan describes steelhead, coho, pink, chum, and sockeye hatchery programs. The hatchery programs included in this project are located in Puget Sound watersheds, including: the Nooksack, Skagit, Stillaguamish, Snohomish, Lake Washington, Green, Puyallup, Nisqually, Skokomish, Dosewallips, Duckabush, Hamma Hamma, Dungeness, and Elwha. Hatchery facilities are located both in the river systems and adjacent marine areas.
