The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) requested formal consultation on a proposed revetment construction action on the Necanicum River in a letter dated August 14, 2000. NMFS received the request for consultation and supporting information describing the proposed action on August 24, 2000. The City of Seaside (City) is the applicant for the subject permit. The proposed project is located South of the City of Seaside, Oregon along the Necanicum River (river-mile 6). This site is known as Peterson Point and is the location of a water intake pump station that fills the Peterson Point Reservoir. This biological opinion (Opinion) considers the potential effects of the proposed action on Oregon Coast (OC) coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), which occur in the proposed project area. OC coho salmon were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on August 10, 1998 (63 FR 42587), and critical habitat was designated on February 16, 2000 (65 FR 7764). NMFS concludes that the proposed action is not likely to jeopardize the subject species, or destroy or adversely modify designated critical habitat. |
