American River Fish Hatchery – Fish Mitigation
OVERVIEW The 2012 SEIS/EIR determined that prior phases of the Folsom JFP would temporarily impair recreational fishing opportunities in Folsom Lake and required impacts to fisheries to be compensated by re-stocking fish in the lake.
The FWS Coordination Act Report for the Dam Modification
Approach Channel requires compensation for losses to fish resources by stocking Folsom Reservoir with 6,000 catchable-size triploid (sterile) rainbow trout.
A Memorandum for Record dated October 18, 2016 provides for Reclamation to complete this mitigation requirement.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, American River Fish Hatchery has the jurisdiction to raise the fish and the jurisdiction to stock Folsom Lake.
The average time it takes to grow catchable size fish at this State facility is a year and a half.
The fish that California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) will be stocking for this project will be a mix of eggs they acquired in December 2015 and December 201 6. CDFW will use a combination of the fastest growing fish from the 16 egg lots, and the slow growing fish from the 15 egg lots.
To accommodate the need to expedite this mitigation requirement, CDFW will schedule to start the stocking in Fall of 2017 and end in Spring 201 8. All of the project work will be completed by the spring of 201 8. This schedule may fluctuate if water temperatures are not satisfactory to CDFW standards.
Once awarded and logistics with project partners are completed a detailed work schedule will be completed.
