This worksheet was designed to help project proponents and
government agencies identify when a project needs further
analysis regarding adverse effects on ESA (Endangered Species
Act) listed salmonids . Salmonids are salmon, trout and chars,
e.g. bull trout. For our purposes, "ESA listed salmonids" is
defined as fish species listed as endangered, threatened or
being considered for listing.
if ESA listed species are present ox ever were present in the watershed where your project
will be located,your project has the potential for affecting them, and you need to comply
with the ESA. The questions in this section will help determine if the ESA listings will
impact your project.
The rish program Manager at the appropriate Department of risk and wildlife (Drw)
regiansl office can provide information for the following two quesriona
1. Are ESA listed salmonids currently present in the watershed
in which yo project will be located?
Yes Na
Please describe.
2 . Has there ever been an ESA listed salmonid stock present in
this watershed? Yes No-A- Uncertain
Please describe .
if you answered "yea" to either of the above questions, you
should complete the remainder of this checklist.

2 . Name of nearest watorbody: _
3 . What is tb- A4 stance from this project to the nearest body of
water? -
Often a buffer between the project and a stream can reduce the chance of a
negative impact to fish.
4. What is the current land use between the project and the
potentially affected water body (parking Iota, farmland, etc)?
5. Is the project above a:
natural, permanent barrier (waterfall) Yes No

e man-made barrier (culvert, dam) Yes No
• other (explain) !
6. If yes, are there any resident salmonid populations above the
blockage? Yes No Don' t know

this project could interfere with migration of adult and
Juvenile fish.
Both increA064 and decreases in water flown can affect fish migration.

Name of surface water body
ii. Ground water? Yes No
Amount

2 . Will any water be rerouted? Yes No
If yes, will this require a channel change?
3 . Will there be retention or detention ponds? Yes No
If yes, will this be an infiltration pond or a surface
discharge to either a municipal storm water system or a
surface water body?
If to a surface water discharge, please give the name of the
waterbody.
4. Will this project require the building of new roads?
Yes No Increased road mileage may affect the tindng of water
reachsng a stream and may impact. fish habitat.
5. Are culverts proposed as part of this project? Yes No
6. Will topography changes affect. the duration/direction of
runoff flows? Yes No If yes, describe the changes .

WATER QUALITY: The f011awing questions Will help determine if .
this project could adversely impact water quality. Such impacts
Can cause problems for listed species.
Water quality can be made worse by runoff from impervious surfaces, alterinu cantor
temperature, disoharainq contamitianta, etc.
1 . Do you know of any problems with water quality in any of the
streams within this watershed? Yes No
If yes, describe.
2 _ Will your project either reduce or increase shade along or
over a waterbody? Yes No
Removal cf shading vegetation or the building of structures such as docks or
floats often result in a change in shade.
3 . Will the project increase nutrient loading or have the
potential to increase nutrient loading or contaminants
(fertilizers, other waste discharges, or runoff) to the
waterbody? Yes No
4 . Will turbidity be increased because of construction of the
project or during operation of the project? Yes No
In-water or near water work will often increase turbidity_
5 . will your project require long term maintenance, i _e. bridge
cleaning, highway salting, chemical sprays for vegetation
management, clearing of parking lots?
Yes No If yes, please describe.

If yes, please describe the existing conditions, and the
amount and type of vegetation to be removed.
